How did it start?

The World Art Foundation was created in 2008 as a sister organization to the Art & Fashion Group International (A&FG). Jojo Marengo founded A&FG in 1984 to unite the physical enhancement artists of the world. At its height the group had over 100 chapters in the USA and representation in 25 countries in 5 continents with over 7,000 members. It produced in excess of 600 events a year (attracting from 50 to 5,000 attendees). The founder, Jojo Marengo, is the publisher of 21 luxury magazines and father to Monique and Antoine Marengo.

The World Art Foundation is dedicated to uniting some 5,000 local and cyber organizations under its umbrella, while helping them maintain their individual identities. Through common effort, this union will provide improved tools to advance support for the arts.
