Approximately 200 body painted models will be taking over Times Square on Friday afternoon, June 9, 2017 from 12 pm to 4 pm in an artistic celebration of the painted human body and the models’ expression through painted on Notes.
Models of all shapes and sizes, both male and female will participate in this unique artistic event that will feature the largest collection of body painted models to ever assemble in the internationally known Times Square area of New York City.
Although artist and organizer Andy Golub has often body painted models in New York City's Times Square area, this event will be the largest gathering of body painted models ever assembled in the Times Square area.

Both public and tourists alike, are welcome to view the models being body painted on Friday, June 9, 2017 on Broadway between 43 - 44 Streets between 12 pm and 3 pm .
The models will than take to the Bleachers for a photo shoot between 3 and 4 pm.
This event,
Body Notes, is the brainchild of artist Andy Golub, Founder of Human Connections Arts and producer of NYC Bodypainting Day, and inspired by the Matthew “Levee” Chavez’s Sticky Note Project at the Union Square Subway.
Chavez will be joining the event as a guest artist.
“All these nude bodies and all of these words make a powerful statement, but it’s a statement of love, expression, acceptance and connection", Golub explains.
"Body Notes is a celebration of who we are on the inside and out.

It’s an opportunity for people to express themselves through both their words and their bodies.
It is not a protest.
It is not political.
It is about everything that brings people together.”
It was through artist Andy Golub legal efforts, that body paint artists have won the right to legally body paint nude models on the streets of New York City.
He, also organized the first
Bodypainting Day in New York City four years ago, which featured body painters from around the country.
This will be the fourth year that Bodypainting Day will be celebrated in New York City on July 22nd, 2017 in Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village.
Bodypainting Day will be celebrated internationally in Amsterdam and Berlin in August and in San Francisco in October.
