Artis Patterson
MKP USA Special Award
“I create a world where men can be their true, authentic selves, by being my true, authentic self.”
Art has been on a mission to create a Gateway weekend for men with physical challenges. The Barrier Free Gateway weekend was held for the first time in August of 2019, at Sleeping Dog Ranch in Prescott, AZ. Art was there, and held the spiritual and emotional center of that weekend. Art has been an MKP brother for almost 20 years.
His impact in the community continues to grow and his stand for men with differences has profoundly changed what’s possible for the ManKind Project.
