The Wall 1 year agoLiquitex Organic Social (Instagram) wrapped up B Corp Month with a co-sponsored giveaway in collaboration with our North American partner, Jetty—also a proud B Corp. The giveaway featured sustainable products from Jetty, along with our very own Bio-Based paint as a highlighted prize. The contest received an incredible response and strong engagement from our community. We’re excited to bring more initiatives like this to life in the future!

Congratulations to all the team for this success!! Let’s see now next steps with brand and sales to grow this category…..…
-
Amazing! Well done everyone 🙂…
-
The factory and processes certainly look very impressive, and it looks like some excellent cross functional working within Colart – well done. We will revisit as a NA team how we can push harder with the improved quality and better margins.…

Great achievement!.Congratulations.…
-
Great work Estelle, nice to see the supplier story in the video too- looks like a great factory!…

The Wall 1 year agoBig thanks today to @erinkeenan @ashleyzarrelli and @annezayatz for coming together for our sneak peek brand engagement of the 8 new Liquitex Basics Metallic colors. Using a stencil of a cassette tape we had a theme of 80’s heavy metal music to showcase the metallic sheen of these gorgeous colors. Everyone has a blast embellishing their cassettes and Steve Chamberlain rocked the bandanna which I vote should be a wardrobe mainstay!
-
What a fantastic event! The colors were amazing. Rachel mentioned how exciting it was to see the variety of ideas people came up with, even though everyone had the same colors. I completely agree!Thank you to @erin-keenancolart-com @ashley-zarrellicolart-com @anne-zayatzcolart-com and @jimmy-lesliecolart-com for putting this together!
-
Glad you enjoyed it @eric-drylewiczcolart-com I agree with Rachel, It is super cool to see people get creative and art doesn’t have to be about the end result looking like a particular thing. Arrangements of colors and shapes can have a beauty all on their own.…

It was a lot of fun, and the new colors, yes, no ‘u’ as it is Liquitex 🙂 certainly do rock! I can only see positive responses from our customers and consumers with these. Thank you too all those mentioned in making this a fun, interactive and informative session – and to the participants too! I am filled with slight trepidation as to what the next ‘theme’ might be vs my wardrobe….. …
-
Looks like it was rocking event, well done team NA …
-
The Basics Metallics are just gorgeous and what a great staff engagement activity! @steve-chamberlaincolart-com I love your commitment to theme. Rock on Liquitex and the NA team! …
-
The metallics look incredible ….not sure i can say the same about Steve’s bandana! …

🤣…

It was so much fun! And great to see and hear everyone across the NA team experimenting with and enjoying the new metallics! …
