WHAT'S HAPPENING AT COLART?

Colart materials are sold in 120 countries across the globe and our portfolio of tools can make any type of creativity possible. Across the globe our team of people are constantly collaborating with arts insitutions, charities, museums, schools and creative projects to help the world express their creativity using our tools, and the stories you can see here show that we often go beyond just making the tools.

At Colart, we believe that the universal language of art has the power of bringing people together, because art has no boundaries, rules or limits. And we are very proud of our role to provide the tools needed to unleash creativity in any shape or form.

Regardless of skill, all creativity starts with pen and paper; the starting point is always an idea that needs to be born, nurtured and grown, and our tools can bring ideas to life.
