  • Live Music & Art Party

    Small 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.
  • Bodypainting Retreat #2

    Spend a weekend of beauty and creativity with Human Connection Arts. Bodypainting Retreats are clothing optional. Emerge into nature, art, your body, meditation, natural food, bonfires, beautiful wildlife, amazing music, yoga, explore our pond and woods. Become rejuvenated and expanded.
  • Bodypainting Retreat #1

    Our 1st Bodypainting Retreat was an amazing time. This clothing optional retreat started off with body painting and a photoshoot in nature, followed by healthy BBQs and brunches, morning yoga and strolls, campfires, drum circles and more! But most of all it was about connecting with our fellow human beings.
  • Sugar Hill Art Festival

    Our 2nd Annual Sugar Hill Art Festival was a heartwarming success! Our featured artists created beautiful canvas paintings and chalk art drawings and once again the music was great! But this year the community came out much more to paint, draw and Jackie Robinson Park was filled with art and art appreciation.

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!
