Artists are being invited to book in now for the Australian Body Art Festival to be held from 9-11 April at Apex Park, Cooroy for a program that will look a bit different to past years.
Event manager Danielle Taylor said to comply with CovidSafe requirements the festival would change the format to create five discreet sessions.
On Friday 9 April there will be UV speed painting commencing mid-afternoon. Saturday will comprise a Brush & Sponge and Special Effects sessions. On Sunday, the morning will feature both junior and senior Face Painting and the afternoon Wearable Art, final parades and announcements. Surfboard Art winners will also be announced on Sunday 11 April.
Danielle said surfboard artists could claim their boards prior to the weekend to start creating in advance or were welcome to paint onsite over the Festival weekend – all ready for judging, announcements and the auction in the afternoon.
Each session will conclude with judging, announcements and parades, she said.
“What will not change this year is the amazing art, atmosphere, camaraderie and the creativity that this event generates,“ Danielle said. “We will still have live music, food vendors, markets stalls and photo booth.“
All participants will need a ticket for entry and more information will be released as plans unfold.
“Like the events industry, the entertainment industry is one that has been hit hardest. By donating, you won’t just be supporting the Australian Body Art Festival but also supporting musicians and performers,“ she said. “Any donation, large or small would be appreciated.“
