Mouth And Foot Painting Artists

Step into a world where creativity defies limitations. Since 1956, the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA) has been a beacon of empowerment for differently-abled artists worldwide. Founded by Erich Stegmann, a polio-stricken mouth artist, this cooperative organization has transformed lives, embracing self-sufficiency through art. With over 800 members spanning 74 countries, the MFPA rejects the notion of charity, championing self-help and independence instead. These extraordinary artists showcase their remarkable creations through home decor, fashion products, and breathtaking paintings, captivating audiences across the globe. What began as a humble gathering of differently-abled artists has evolved into an international movement. Stegmann's vision of work security and dignity echoes throughout the MFPA, fueling their journey towards success. Reproducing artists' works on cards, calendars, and books, the association celebrates the triumph of the human spirit. Join us in celebrating the indomitable power of creativity. Together, we embody the motto that has guided us for decades: "Self-help, not charity." Let's give wings to artists without arms and show the world the limitless possibilities of art.
