CHAC Body Painting Competition

To my fellow American painters:
The Canadian Haunted Attraction Convention is hosting a Body Painting Competition on Saturday, March 1st, and a Face Painting Competition on Sunday, March 2nd, 2014.  The theme is "Extreme Halloween".   This event will take place at the Delta Hotel and Conference Centre in Guelph, Ontario, Canada.

I entered the competition for the first time last year, in 2013.  While I did not place or win, I came away with something better than money.... I was in a room with extremely talented, warm, kind artists, and I made some lifetime friends (hellllooooo Elaine Day!!!).  I had never body painted in a competition before, and I wanted to get better at the scary genre.  WHAT AN EDUCATION!!! I highly recommend this experience for first-timers, and more experienced painters.  Both airbrush artists, and the brush-and-sponge artists are welcomed with open arms.  The judges this year are Dotsy the Clown (Shelley Summers), Matthew Flagler (canadahaunts.ca), and Sean Avram.  

Sean Avram is teaching a class on Friday, February 28th.  Saturday night is a Costume Ball.  The Face Painting Competition has two age divisions: Ages 12-17, and the adult 18+ division.  I will be cheering on the competition on Sunday.  Dotsy the Clown is the vender.  

Guelph is not too far from the border, so I thought I should post this to our US neighbours, and extend a hearty welcome.

I hope to see everybody there!!!
