UPCOMING EVENTS
Potluck
Join HCA’s Potluck Dinner. A fun evening of reconnecting with Friends. We will be sharing new info on our exciting 2024 roster of events including our 1st retreat in upstate New York, Polar Bear Paint, Naked Theater and more!
Human Canvas #1
6 models will lay on the floor together, with their bodies forming a large Human Canvas. Andy will then create a spontaneous painting in one day.
Human Canvas Retreat
We are very excited to host our first retreat at our beautiful upstate space, called Honey Hollow. Activities include: a new Human Canvas Painting, outdoor photo shoot, interactive shadow puppetry, yoga class and more!
Human Canvas #2
6 models will lay on the floor together, with their bodies forming a large Human Canvas. Andy will then create a spontaneous painting in one day.
Polar Bear Paint
It’s a little like Bodypainting Day except it’s freezing cold outside! All of the painting is done at a private indoor studio. Then we do march through the streets and take a group photo!
Bodyfest
It’s a 3-day festival filled with fun and creative activities exploring the various relationships that we can have with our bodies from art to athletics, natural to modified, from spiritual to sexual.
Naked Theatre
It’s hard to believe that we’re doing our 3rd production of Naked Theater! Once again it will be completely original, cutting edge and art with a message. It will be one performance only and will be performed as part of BodyFest.
RECENT EVENTS
-
Crete Bodypainting Day
Crete Bodypainting Day was a blast! Over 20 people traveled to Greece to make art together, enjoying the natural beauty and adding some of our own. With the hot sun on us, we were able to cool down with a quick dip into the ocean.
-
NYC Halloween Parade
Riding the HCA float at the 50th NYC Halloween Parade was amazing as always. This year, all of the paintings were black and white, making for a great group mosaic. This year was a particularly cold one, but dancing to the music of DJ, John Rovito kept us warm. Looking forward to returning next year.
-
Painting Kamali
It was an honor to paint Kamali to celebrate life and the beauty of the human body. We also took advantage of the moment to raise awareness about ovarian cancer and the importance of early detection.

The 10th NYC Bodypainting Day Was An Amazing Success!
NYC Bodypainting Day was epic! One of the very best in terms of great art, huge crowds and major press coverage. I’m sure you know that after 10 years we’ve retired the event. But not to worry, HCA will continue on with new, cutting edge, artistic, connecting events. We look forward to seeing you there!
OUR MISSION
Is to bring people together in unity, acceptance and love through large-scale public art events around the world.
