The WBF is nothing short of fantastic, every year β for a week in Austria, thousands of people witness the creation of βliving, breathing, and multidimensional art. Bodypainting however, is not the only feature at the festival, throughout the weeklong festival β there are numerous artists playing on stages across the venue, workshops, competitions, and other events taking place that showcase the best use of the human body as a canvas. Beginning in 1998, the festival is now on its 17th year β and promises to be an exciting mix of artistic experimentation, fashion innovation, and musical expression while maintaining, the obvious professional aspect through the βGlobal Professional Bodypainting Conferenceβ β to share, collaborate, and discuss, as well as showcase the pieces that have been created at the festival.
