The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Beach Ghost, Melbourne-based artist Jack Howl makes art under the name beachghost. Working with traditional media, Jack explores intersections between pop culture and mythology. Bright pastel colors mix with dark inks to twist and distort nostalgic childhood memories of popular media and folklore.

Creature Creature is an artist duo based in Melbourne, Australia, comprising Chanel Tang and Ambrose Rehorek. They have a collaborative art practice that spans exhibiting art, murals, street art, design, and illustration. Their combined style is a convergence of Asian aesthetics and iconography with a Western perspective, resulting in works brimming with contrast and fluidity. The work embodies the concept of duality and the sum of a whole, emphasising messages of togetherness, states of balance, yin and yang. Through their partnership, they aim to preserve diversity and create expressions that are complex, layered, and interconnected, celebrating the beauty of unity.

Daniele Castellano was born in Rimini in 1989. His inclination for drawing emerged in childhood and developed further during adolescence, when he began exploring other possible worlds through fantasy and science fiction. After earning his scientific high school diploma, he moved to Milan to attend the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, where he graduated in Painting. The experience he gained at the academy allowed him to better define his interests. He realized that his strongest inspirations still lay in the illustrated books he read and admired as a child. In wonder, adventure, and the discovery of nature and the cosmos. He then decided to enroll at ISIA Urbino to study Illustration. It was in Urbino that he met Marco Bassi and Bruno Zocca, with whom, after graduating, he founded Ufficio Misteri, a collective dedicated to investigating the occult and the paranormal through graphite drawing. He currently resides in Bologna and collaborates with various American and international magazines, including The New Yorker, The Atlantic, and The New York Times. He sings in the post-hardcore band Lantern and continues his investigative work with Ufficio Misteri.
