The Wall

    On Friday, October 31st, after almost 6 years of being closed, the Princeton University Art Museum reopened its doors to the public in a newly remodeled building.

    The first day opened for a full 24-hours, offering various activities, including public access into the Conservation studios and a Q&A with the conservators.

    I learned the Princeton University Art Museum has over 110,000 art pieces/objects in its collection. This new museum displays 5% of its collection, previously only 1% was shown.

    I spoke about Winsor & Newton to Chief Conservator Bart Devolder, who focuses on paintings. He is 1 of the 2-person Conservator team. His canvas installation outside of the Conservation studios called “Discoveries on the Backs of Paintings” includes a canvas that states, “Prepared by Winsor & Newton”. He raved about the Winsor & Newton Series 7 brushes and said those are the only brushes he uses.

    To read more about the Conservation space, here’s an article Bart Devolder wrote this year: https://artmuseum.princeton.edu/art/stories-perspectives/future-conservation-princeton-university-art-museum

    If you’re in the Princeton, New Jersey area, it’s worth checking out this new (free and open to all) museum. There are also other offerings such as open studio hours and workshops/programs that will bring even more art to the masses.

    Here’s a short video I put together when I visited: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/r407y0x7otbifwng1k2is/Princeton-University-Art-Museum_Nov-3-2025.MOV?rlkey=s9jfvz47kbypdgtlqsi4yzg2z&st=atg4bmba&dl=0

    Chez Colart, on cultive la curiosité et le partage !

    Sur l’automne, nous avons invité nos collaborateurs en France à vivre une expérience unique : « Vis ma vie », une journée d’immersion au cœur d’un autre métier.

    Le concept ?👉 Chaque salarié peut formuler jusqu’à trois vœux pour découvrir le service de son choix.👉 Le service RH orchestre ensuite les mises en relation pour créer les meilleurs duos découverte possibles.

    Certains choisissent d’aller à la rencontre de services avec lesquels ils collaborent au quotidien, d’autres préfèrent s’aventurer vers des métiers encore méconnus.

    Dans tous les cas, la même conclusion : enthousiasme, curiosité et fierté partagée !

    Le succès a été au rendez-vous :🎨 37 collaborateurs inscrits / 🤝 35 duos formés / 💬 8 rapports d’étonnement déjà reçus, riches en idées et en perspectives

    Cette initiative favorise la compréhension mutuelle, la cohésion et la fierté d’appartenance.Merci à toutes celles et ceux qui ont pris part à cette belle aventure — qu’ils aient accueilli ou découvert. Vous contribuez à renforcer ce qui fait la force de Colart : la collaboration, la transmission et l’envie d’apprendre ensemble.

    And here is the winning artwork from the Bewdley Arts Festival, completed by 14 year old Nonin Stevenson.

    I was invited by David Baker to present a prize on behalf of Colart at the weekend at our local Bewdley Arts Festival.  Several colleagues helped me to select our winning entry, “Behind The Curtain” pictured below with the extremely talented 14 year old, Nonin Stevenson receiving another of her prizes presented by artist Laura Smith.  The artists were given a few hours the previous week to complete their artwork.   Nonin’s frame was broken but she repaired it in a way which I feel enhances the entire story of the painting.   As a site, Kidderminster DC also took the opportunity to Inspire Every Artist by presenting a small gift pack to all of 13 artists to include paper, a few paints and brushes from our charity aisle to encourage the use of our products.  A few of the entrants are pictured below with their packs.  (All artists have given their permission to be included in our post.)
