The spectacularly lavish 2019 Australian Body Art Festival , is once again about to hit our Sunshine Coast shores, by returning to the picturesque little hinterland town of Cooroy - same town, but new venue … at Apex Park.

The Australian Body Art Festival is Australia's top-tier body painting art event and with a different theme every year, attracts artists and spectators from across Australia and abroad. The theme for 2019 is 'Other Worlds', which will surely lend itself to an inspirational array of interpretations from artists. All you need is …. imagination and creativity … and a body to paint, of course.


The Australian Body Art Festival is a vibrant 'festival of colour' event, focusing on competitions in full body painting - temporary art, not tattooing - with competitors exhibiting their works in various mediums, including brush and sponge, airbrush, special effects and face painting. The Australian Body Art Festival also showcases competitions and exhibitions in wearable art and photography.



Spectators to the Australian Body Art Festival have the opportunity to watch on in awe as extraordinarily talented artists magically evolve their human canvases from the 'every day' into magnificent, gloriously colourful 'other worldliness' creations. It's magical and it's creative - bodies of art that are visions to behold!



2019 will be our third year of attending the Australian Body Art Festival and with the entertaining programme on offer, my expectations are at an all-time high - I am excited to see how this spectacular festival has progressed to cap all previous years. The Australian Body Art Festival is FREE for spectators to attend on Saturday 6 April and Sunday 7 April.



The Opening Night function is a ticketed event of the Australian Body Art Festival and is to be held in the Grand Marquee in Apex Park on Friday night, the 5 April from 5.00pm. The aim of the Opening Night function is to host artists, models, sponsors, volunteers and anybody else who loves being involved with the spectacular Australian Body Art Festival. Opening Night will feature entertainment, roving performers, lucky door prize, face painting, locally sourced products on three grazing tables and a cash bar. The dress code for Opening Night is: party clothing or fancy dress to the 2019 theme 'Other Worlds'.



Make sure you don't miss out on the fabulous Opening Night function as it kicks off this year's spectacular Australian Body Art Festival. Book your $25 entry to the Opening Night function for the Australian Body Art Festival here, via trybooking.com
