Art takes human form at Fantasy Fest 2021
Florida’s Fantasy Fest 2021 is the annual celebration of adult creativity and play featuring costumes, parties, and everything in the fantastic. The Fantasy Fest 41th anniversary took place in October 2021.
This year’s theme was “In Tune but Off Key.” Over 70,000 guests filled the overwise calm area with the liberation of costumes, body paint, and parades.
This 10 day celebration is the largest festival in Key West, hosting a variety of exotic events that fulfill any definition of “fantastic.” This playground for adults makes Mardi Gras pale in comparison to the jam-packed event schedule.
Trying to decide between the many events?
One of these popular events is the Living Art Expo, which highlights the talent in body paint. The Fantasy Fest’s Living Art Expo is a showcase of “human form as a living canvas.” Sunset Pier in Key West was turned into a colorful array of human body art that was open to all with free admission.
Bodies were made into canvas with paintings of Elvis in costume, mermaids, interpretive art, and the regular band tee and shorts. The Living Art Expo at Sunset Pier allowed both skin and physical performance to showcase the potential of the human body as it was transformed into art.
Men, women, those outside the binary, and groups all competed to win the title of “Best Overall Living Art of Fantasy Fest 2021” and win $3000 in cash and prizes. This was a free event with VIP admission available for purchase.
