Bodypainting Day is a public art event produced by Human Connections Arts to enable free artistic expression, body acceptance and human connection through art. A select group of talented artists paint on the bodies of nude models over a 4 hour period in full public view.
The artistic process of many artists all at once, a full nude event, removes the shame often associated with our bodies and shows the distinction between nudity and sexuality.
Bodypainting Day gives models the opportunity to embrace themselves and to use their bodies to become living art. They are ordinary people, ranging in age, size and gender, who become models, displaying themselves in public just as they are, with great pride.
Bodypainting Day was founded by artist Andy Golub, who has been painting bodies in the public streets of NYC since 2007.
