Original artwork will be on display at the leading networking event for hospitality and interiors professionals

Tom Yendell, a leading light in the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA) partnership, will be showcasing his original artwork at the HD Meet Up networking event next week.

The MFPA is part of an international self-help association of artists (Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists – AMFPA), who paint without the use of their hands.

The partnership is working with hotels, restaurants, serviced apartments and other venues to have its members’ art placed in a public environment.

The HD Meet Up takes place on Wednesday 21st March at The London Edition – located in Fitzrovia on the edge of Soho – between 6pm-9.30pm.

It’s completely free for hoteliers and designers to attend; click here to confirm your attendance.

Tom Yendell, of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists, said: “After 60 years of producing cards, calendars and wrapping paper Mouth and Foot Painting Artists are excited to be providing their inspirational artwork for hotels, restaurants, serviced apartments and other venues to hang on their walls. We believe that by having a small photograph of our fantastic artists working and a small biography displayed on or next to the stretched canvas or framed print, will enhance the customer experience.”

Katy Phillips, Publisher at Hotel Designs, added: “We’re delighted to be able to showcase the work of Tom and other MFPA artists at the HD Meet Up – It’s a great opportunity for designers to network with up and coming artistic talent and view their work. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to the event.”
