Aberdeen's Nuart Festival will return in June, brining artists from across the world to the Granite city.
The event organisers, Aberdeen Inspired, have confirmed it will be back this year - after launching in 2017.
The weekend festival allows artist to create huge wall mural designs on buildings across the city and is expected to attract thousands of visitors.
Adrian Watson, chief executive of Aberdeen Inspired said:
“Nuart Aberdeen is a festival unlike any other seen in the city, it has a mass appeal and it inspires people of all ages to enjoy art in their own way at their own pace.
“We are delighted to be bringing the festival back to the city centre this year and locals and visitors can expect to see work from some of the finest internationally acclaimed street artists.
“The importance of events like Nuart Aberdeen to the recovery of the city centre cannot be underestimated.
"City centre businesses from hotels to restaurants and shops will enjoy a much needed boost to the local economy as a direct result of Nuart Aberdeen."
He added:
"We not only expect to welcome thousands of visitors over the course of the festival weekend, but indeed year-round people will flock to the city to take in the art, go on a public walking tour and enjoy all the city centre has to offer."
