Bath Bodyart at a Glance
Greater Than the Sum of Our Parts
Body art is a worldwide phenomenon and even the most isolated tribes have demonstrated the desire to decorate skin and celebrate the human form. Bath Bodyart was born to support our creative community and develop collaborations and events outside of Bath Bodyart Weekend, our flagship event held annually in the UK. ​
Mission Statement
The aim of Bath Bodyart is to encourage an interactive and inclusive environment, irrespective of age, cultural background or lifestyle choices, and for all to become involved in creating and celebrating body art in all its forms. Promoting good body image and building confidence is a key feature to the mechanics of the body art events. We welcome artists, models and photographers to collaborate and encourage those recently curious about the artform alongside those who have been involved for some time.
What We Do
Making Face and Body Art Accessible
A collective of UK artists focused on promoting bodyart.
Born from our flagship event,
Bath Bodyart Weekend
A Space to Sparkle
Where it all began, and still our flagship event,
Bath Bodyart Weekend is a three-day mini festival in June for those who like a bit of sparkle in their lives! The main event runs Friday to Sunday with the option of joining a Masterclass with our key demonstrators on the Thursday.
A relaxed mini family friendly festival with live music, food & entertainment, face & body art retailers and festival stalls, competitions and workshops; all set amidst the rolling Somerset countryside just outside the beautiful historical city of Bath. You can relax in a peaceful environment, learn or practice new skills and have a chance to stock up on professional products, usually only available on-line.

Installations and pop-ups
Bigger, Bolder and Brighter!
Body art adds a splash of colour and a dash of glitter wherever it goes. Whether as the headline attraction or as something unusual to add interest to a larger event, it prompts engagement, curiosity and wonder across ages and communities. Attracting attention and initiating conversations, it evokes a reaction from all who encounter it and is therefore used to great effect at promotional events and on social media. Bath Body Art have painted at retail events, gallery openings, fringe arts events, the World Body Painting Festival and other renowned international events. See 'Our Projects' for event details.
​
The inclusive nature of Body Art means that a very broad spectrum of subjects and activities can be portrayed as a moving living artform and can involve demonstration and the spectacle of interacting with living art.
