Dozens of artists will return to a Norfolk seaside town to create a new mural after the "huge success" of transforming a seafront wall earlier this month.
Reprezent Project CIC, an urban arts organisation based in Great Yarmouth, will hold a second edition of its 'mural jam' in the town again in September next year.
It comes after more than 70 artists from across the country and beyond joined forces to turn the 500-metre stretch of seafront behind the Pleasure Beach into a vibrant array of artwork on September 5.
Ruben Cruz, founder and CEO of Reprezent Project CIC, said: "It was such a vibe. It was so good. It was what I want, the community coming together to celebrate art.
"Just having the opportunity to paint by the sea is just a blessing.
"This year was a huge success. We are already working on plans for next year.
"I think we can show what Yarmouth is made of."
A total of 72 artists descended on the town to paint along the seafront with each artist having an average of six metres to work their magic.
Creators painted a wide variety of subjects, drawing inspiration from Yarmouth’s coastal setting in a celebration to mark the tenth anniversary of the organisation.
Mr Cruz added: "We had artists flying from France and Israel to come here. We are boosting tourism and we need to keep building upon it."
"Most of the artists will come back. We will open up the opportunity for other artists to experience it.
"Next year we are looking at a different location, trying to make it bigger.
"What we are bringing to Yarmouth is a brand-new festival. One day it will be as big as Wheels Festival. We can do it on hoardings and places that are developing."
Plans for next year include creative talks and pop-up shops for artists, with ideas to involve the BMX, skate and vintage community more next year.
Mr Cruz also confirmed that the artwork on the seafront wall behind the Pleasure Beach will "definitely stay there for one year."
