World Bodypainting Festival 2019

One of the most colorful festivals you are ever likely to see, the World Bodypainting Festival has wowed audiences since its creation in 1998. This bizarre event takes place over the course of a week each year in the picturesque south of Austria. Tasked with the job of organizing a summer event in the town of Seeboden, Alex Barendregt, (a local travel agent and founder of the festival) chose the body art theme after seeing an interesting photo one day. While the festival was not an immediate success it has since grown to become the biggest and best event of its type in the world, founding the modern body painting art movement and attracting tens of thousands of visitors.
