Body Art From Abroad

A note from Mem’s recent travels to Seeboden, Austria, where she has successfully showcased the NZ Body Art Awards Event at the World Body Painting Festival, creating much interest with our counterparts.

The world festival of Body Painting was a great opportunity to network with some of the most wonderful body painters and artists from around the world.

Meeting people such as Jinny, Alex Hansen, Phillipo, Bella Volen was a great inspiration and a fabulous opportunity to learn new tricks and watch artists at work.

I met up with one of our own sponsors, Michael de Prycker and his family from Fantasy Worldwide, and had a great opportunity to talk with him about other events happening around the world, products that are on the market and opportunities to promote body art

The most stimulating thing I have realized from this trip was being involved in a large community of artists who are so passionate about this art form. I have been fortunate to gather and share experiences and passions.

And of course there is the Body Art Circus Ball where we have the opportunity to view fashion combined with body art as well as Art Ballet, a Polish group that body paint and perform on stage.

Thank you all for your support and energy that you have given me. A special thanks to Arts Venture and Bittermoon who made it possible for me to attend the event.
