When we launched the World Bodypainting Festival in 1998 we didn’t expect that this will last for years nor for decades. We found our way even in the pandemic times and after celebrated the 25th anniversary. After that celebration we found a new layout and got an amazing positive feedback from our community.
And here we are to contiune the new path of the "World Bodypainting Festival" with the 27th edition.
The #wbfestival2024 will focus again on the art of body painting, face fx and expand our focus to the visual art forms.
