Mark Golden on Paint

Well the early reviews are in for OPEN ACRYLIC and it couldn’t be more exciting.  Artists are discovering both the ease of using this product as well as how very different this is from any other acrylic paint.   This product has also clearly demonstrated to all of us how important the traditional acrylics truly are.  […]

We have just introduced our new OPEN Acrylic onto the market and we are sitting on pins and needles to hear the reviews from artists out there as they begin to work with the product.  I know this product is so different from others we produced that it will create new opportunities and new problems […]

We are just on the verge of our introduction of the new GOLDEN OPEN Acrylic to our retailers in North America.  It should start arriving in stores by the first or second week in July.  I am so excited with the response to this new product… this paint truly feels like no other paint.  I believe OPEN […]

For years we had been showing products at various […]

We’re still glowing in the after effects from the wonderful benefit and silent auction for the Golden Foundation at the GOLDEN Gallery in Columbus, NY. So many artists contributed amazing works to the event. Our biggest concern was after receiving these amazing contributions from artists, would we be able to raise enough interest from folks […]

I’ll be off to Japan soon to speak to a range of students, faculty, conservators and artists over the next few weeks. While this is an amazing and exciting trip for me, it also gives our team here a chance to fix some of the issues with my blog. So while that gets done, I […]

We have just days left before the fun begins with the Silent Auction benefit for the Golden Foundation. We have been so blessed with incredible friendships over so many years of the Foundation and our Company. We shared with just a small group of our friends that we were going to be having this fund […]

Sorry for being such a negligent blogger, simply no excuse! I wanted to share that we’ve been working on the next Just Paint and I am so excited about this issue. I’m not going to give away the content now other than to suggest that it is providing some basic information that they just didn’t […]
