MEDIA RELEASE

BODYPAINTING, Imagine a painter who can create an image from an idea in the fullness of colour, design and expression and then imagine this artist asking their canvas to sing, dance or scream.

This year for the first time in Australia in the middle of the World famous Eumundi Markets Australia’s most colourful event will take place. The Australian Body Art Carnivale is a get together of body-artists, face-painters, traditional artists, photographers and sculptors from all over the world competing to win fabulous prizes.

The Carnivale will become a gallery for artists from all mediums to exhibit their work. You will see bodies painted with many different materials and techniques, and sometimes combined with the most fantastic costumes, masks and show effects.

The Carnivale starts with the opening of the “Art of the Body” exhibition and competition on Friday the 24th August at 6pm. See artists and sculptors showcasing their work of the human body. There will be “Live” art classes throughout the weekend and all art will be available for sale.

Become involved with the facepainting competition at the Eumundi Markets on the Saturday and avail yourself of all the fantastic bodyart products on display. The official opening and award ceremony for the face-painting competition will occur at 1pm. The opening will be accompanied by dancing, bands and there will be a jam tent available for watching the artists work and create.

Invigorate your minds from 10am on the ticketed day of the event. Learn the art of body painting, special effects and more as you wander the event and watch the artists transforming bodies into masterpieces of creation. Listen to bands, watch street entertainment, eat magnificent food and enjoy a cold beverage. The event is a licensed venue. As the day fades into night Judging for the artists will take place and the artists will be paraded on the main stage where there will be a spectacular show of colour sound and entertainment. Finishing at 7.30 pm the event will be one not to be missed.
