Eumundi Voice - Issue 87, 22 February 2024

AUSTRALIAN BODY ART FESTIVAL

The Australian Body Art Festival returns to Eumundi for the first time in nine years on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 April with the theme 'Time Travel'. The festival is run by Eumundi and District Historical Assn and supported by the Qld Govt, Sunshine Coast Council and local businesses and organisations. Eumundi Voice has sponsored one of the art prizes in their latest round of community grants.

The festival showcases unique art forms. There are competitions in full-body painting, special effects, face painting and wearable art. Specific paints are needed for the safety of models and some skill is required when using a live person as a canvas! The wearable art competition is limited only by imagination – this is creativity off the leash. Organisers are looking for volunteers to help with all facets of the festival, from selling raffle tickets to working at the bar and helping decorate the Eumundi Amphitheatre site at 76 Memorial Dr, Eumundi.
