Body Painting Review 2010

World Bodypainting Festival 2010 presented by "Kryolan"

The World Bodypainting Festival - after 13 years still the most recognized and most important event in the world of bodypainting. the festival has grown up here in Seeboden, has learned to walk in this park, has learned to read and write here. This world of emotions captivated artists, inspired visitors, filled the village with spirit and soul, presented the locals with a week of internationality, gained friendship for our country. From its early beginnings, the festival was a place for encounter, for creativity and for new paths. This place will continue to develop, will find new ways to offer new inspiration and keep values. An idea, a scene, a spirit are not bound to a place. They can unfold every where. In any place that is open for it. The festival is now going to be mature, is going to be independend, is going to be the writer and will read out to others. A big thank you to my fantastic team that is now already looking forward to see you back in Carinthia, here in the south of Austria in 2011. I am closing another part of our story with a last brush stroke and a smile in my thoughts: Those who can hear butterflies laughing, do know what clouds taste like.
