New Beginnings

About the Event

The long-held secret is finally out! As of Sunday, October 13th, 2024, BAPIA proudly announces its official ownership of the UK Face & Body Art Convention. This exciting development marks a new chapter for the convention, originally founded in 2003 by Rosey Watson of Rainbow Faces Limited.
 
Rosey Watson recognised a gap in the UK for an event dedicated to professional face painters — a space where they could not only hone their skills but also connect with peers in a fun and inspiring environment. Driven by her passion for the art form and her commitment to the face painting community, Rosey established the convention to fulfill this need, creating a hub for creativity, learning, and networking. Now, under the stewardship of BAPIA, the UK Face & Body Art Convention is set to continue and expand this legacy, offering even more opportunities for artists to thrive and connect.

The most effective way to achieve success is by learning from those who have already succeeded.
