SHEPWAY ARTS DEVELOPMENT FUN DAY

On Saturday 26 April 2008, Shepway Arts Development held a community fun day in Folkestone Town Centre. The British Body Painting Guild was delighted to be asked to promote the UK Body Painting Festival 2008 at this event. We could not find a model for the day but at the final hour Derek from Wingham stepped in and kindly allowed himself to be dressed in paint - shirt and waistcoat - thank you Derek. There was a lot of interest in Derek being painted and the transformation it afforded. Leaflets were handed out for the UK Body Painting Festival that is to be held 30 and 31 August this year in Mersham, Ashford. 

Jax (jax@jax.org.uk) was busy promoting face painting and as part of the British Body Painting Guild her work showed the side of body painting that most children love, judging by the never ending queue she had. 

Artist and judge for the UK Body Painting Festival, Phyllis McDowell, brought along her easel to paint the community at leisure and to promote the Arts in Shepway. 

With musicians, dancers and a magician this was a real fun day for all involved. There were several photographers covering the event for local newspapers and Shepway television.
