The European and since 2005 the
World Body Painting Association was founded in Austria on the 12. October 2001.
The formation of the association was initiated by Alex Barendregt, who is also the creator of the "European and then the World Bodypainting Festival®" , which has become a major yearly event at Lake Millstätter See.
The art of bodypainting is exploding all around the globe.
An art form where ballet meets Monet.
Where drama meets Dali.
Bodypainting is a modern art form springing from ancient roots that brings together painters, performers, photographers and creative people from every walk of life.
The World Bodypainting Festival, 13 - 19 July, is the meeting place for the bodypainting world. For more than a decade now artists from up to 40 nations have travelled to the small town of Seeboden in the South of Austria in the middle of July to be a part of this event.
The festival builds up over a week with three final main days, 17 - 19 July, hosting the World Championships as well as semi professional categories. Artists paint directly on the festival site where their living artworks are then presented on stage with spectacular shows, sometimes including the most amazing special effects. This is an outdoor event set on the romantic shores of the Lake Millstattersee with alpine mountains and the warmth of summer turning this little picturesque village into a pumping arts centre.
Around 25.000 visitors enter the festival grounds and enjoy the atmosphere of live music, international show acts, multicultural cuisine and living art.
The audience can view the bodyart, music and shows live and broadcasted over the festival TV streaming the whole day from the festival grounds. Also available onsite is a shopping area where visitors and artists can buy anything related to Bodypainting and make-up art from all of the major companies in the Bodypainting industry as well as some interesting new growing companies.
