Say goodbye to Bodypainting Day, New York City’s annual celebration of nudity and artistry
If you’ve ever dreamed of standing naked in New York City with dozens of strangers while artists turn your skin into a work of art, you may have missed your chance.
Sunday’s Bodypainting Day was the final edition after more than a decade of artists turning nude bodies into works of art.
Organizer Andy Golub expects more than 50 people will be painted over four hours in Manhattan’s Union Square. Golub decided this year’s event would be the last because it’s time to “move on and clear that plate.” He said he wants to find different ways of empowering and bringing people together, including a new event next spring.
