After a nine-year hiatus, the much-anticipated Australian Body Art Festival is making a triumphant return to Eumundi. Scheduled for April 20th and 21st, this year’s festival is themed “Time Travel,” promising a vibrant and imaginative exploration of the past, present, and future through body art.
The Australian Body Art Festival is renowned for its spectacular displays of body painting, and this year will be no exception. Artists from across the nation and around the globe will gather in the picturesque town of Eumundi to transform human canvases into breathtaking works of art. This celebration of creativity will be complemented by live music performances, adding an auditory feast to the visual spectacle.

The “Time Travel” theme is expected to bring out some extraordinary designs, ranging from futuristic visions to historical reflections.
Competitions: The festival hosts competitions in several categories, including brush and sponge, airbrush, special effects, and face painting. This year, we’re also excited to introduce a category dedicated to indigenous art, featuring local traditions and stories.
