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.
