  • Polar Bear Paint

    February 24, 2024

    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! It’s exhilarating and brings color and joy into the cold, grey winter of New York City.

  • NYC Halloween Parade

    October 31, 2023

    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.

  • Crete Bodypainting Day

    September 23, 2023

    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.

  • 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!

    July 23, 2023

    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!
