  • NYC Halloween Parade

    This year’s Halloween Parade was amazing with temperatures over 80 degrees! All of the painting took place in the public streets and then we rode our float through the crowds. Once again, DJ John Rovito provided the tunes. It was a blast! See you next year!
  • Open Mic with Guy Grizzly

    Our 1st Open Mic was a lot of fun. Host Guy Grizzly played many songs with his soulful lyrics. Performances included live music, storytelling and poetry. The day was enjoyed by dozens of local friends and neighbors. We look forward to more performances at the Amphitheater!
  • Bodypainting Retreat #3

    People travel far and wide to immerse in nature, art, play and connection with bodypainting, photos and improv in the woods, yoga, massage, sound baths, BBQ, sharing stories around a campfire, black light bodypainting…& more!
  • Live Music & Art Party

    The debut of our new amphitheater was great! We were treated to a live performance by singer/songwriter Guy Grizzly. Earlier in the afternoon families and artists picnicked and painted canvases, rocks and faces to the tunes of DJ John Rovito.
  • Artist Residency

    Our Artist Residencies are for painters, sculptors, poets, or anyone seeking an inspiring environment to create and connect with others. Artists will have access to 12 acres of beautiful woods, a pond, a studio, and each other. The week-long residency period culminates with our Live Music & Art Party.
  • Meteor Shower Campout

    Experience the natural wonder of the Perseids Meteor Shower under the pitch black skies of upstate NY. Camp out at our retreat space and sculpture park. Breakfast included.

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 Amazing!

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!
