Get a babysitter because one of Tampa\u2019s raciest live events is celebrating a big anniversary this weekend. \u201cSkin\u201d welcomes body painters, sketch artists, DJs, and a culinary team back to South University for two nights.<\/p>\n
The event, which is 21-and-up, includes live performances, body painting, audience participation and more.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe word \u2018grown and sexy\u2019 gets overused, but what we provide is a real atmosphere where people can come and be comfortable in their skin. Art is for sale, there\u2019s networking, it\u2019s a lot of fun. People get to dress up in whatever they want in an all-adult setting,\u201d co-founder Hampton Allen told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Proceeds from the show benefit the Fine Art Forward nonprofit, which works to \u201cprovide fine art education, coaching, and showcase opportunities to Visual artists, models, poets, and musicians as they continue to learn and refine their skills.\u201d<\/p>\n
