ABOUT US
The Australian Body Art Festival, formerly the Australian Body Art Carnivale, is first and foremost a celebration of the passionate body painting industry.
With an event as eclectic and inventive as this one, it should come as no surprise that the Australian Body Art Carnival has a history as interesting as the art that it produces. Eumundi was introduced to the world of body art by local body painter Ria Clauss, after she made the voyage to the 2007 World Body Art Festival in Austria. The idea blossomed, and over the years the festival has been nurtured by hundreds of passionate volunteers and grown into Australia’s premier body art event.
The Eumundi and District Historical Association (EHA) ran the first two years of the event in Eumundi, before it was transferred over to Eumundi Chamber of Commerce in late 2010 and then to Original Eumundi Markets in 2015. From 2017 to 2021, the event was run by the Cooroy Chamber of Commerce and held in Cooroy.
In 2024 the Australian Body Art Festival returns to its origins to again be run by EHA in Eumundi!
The event management and marketing expertise of the Firefly Solutions team have run the event for six years in Eumundi and five years in Cooroy and are back on board for 2024!
