The association began as a result of this yearly festival, 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 Bodypainting Association" with more than 500 members in 2010.
The World Bodypainting 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, models and video-film makers are also active or passive members in the association. | |
