\n<\/a><\/i>The UK’s biggest outdoor painting festival takes to the pretty streets of Kensington and Chelsea over a weekend in July! In just one day, artists create a work (of any style, size and medium) that captures the spirit of the area – you can see the artists in action around the borough on the Saturday. The following day, artists exhibit their works at the Town Hall on King’s Road, allowing members of the public to see the finished items, meet the artists and also purchase the paintings. Nearly 400 artists took part in Pintar Rapido – meaning “painting quickly” in Spanish, where the idea originated – in 2013. If you’d like to take part in the event as an artist, you can find more information on the website above.<\/p>\n
