Formation:
|
The European and since 2005 the
World Body Painting Association was founded in Austria on the 12. October
2001.
The formation of the association was initiated by Alex Barendregt, who is
also the creator of the "European and then the World Bodypainting Festival®"
, which has become a major yearly event at Lake Millstätter See.
[Link: World
Bodypainting Festival ]
|
|
The association began as a result of this yearly festival at Lake Millstätter
See in the south of Austria, but focuses on networking of artists and bodypainting
interested people and companies. |
|
The "European Body Painting Association" counted 250 members
in 2005 most from European countries. The interest worldwide has grown
so we renamed the association to the "World Body Painting
Association".
The World Body Painting Association is dedicated
- to promoting the art of bodypainting,
- to supporting artists around the world and
- encouraging fair trade between artists and companies.
The association also looks after the interests of artists, who have either
made bodypainting their profession, or who just paint for a hobby.
|
Along with the artists, photographers and video-film
makers are also active or passive members in the association.

The W.B.P.A. tries to find co-operation partners and sponsors, who also
give the members discounts and bonus's for products and services. International
partners also try to support and build up the association, so everything
goes hand in hand to promote and develope the art of bodypainting.
