June 2023. New Jersey. Liquitex, the world’s leading acrylic art materials manufacturer, is proud to announce that it is now a Certified B Corporation,™ (“B Corp,™).

B Corp,™ certification is a rigorous assessment of a company's social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.

“This is an important milestone for Liquitex. As inventors of the first water-based artists’ acrylics in 1955, we have always believed that we can make a positive impact on the world” said Kim Stylides, Liquitex Global Brand Director.

"We believe in the power of creative expression to create a better world where artists and communities can thrive. A world that gives back more than it takes. Our products are made with sustainability in mind, and we work hard to make a positive mark, while minimizing our impact on the planet. B Corp,™ certification represents the beginning of our ongoing commitment, as we join a community that strives for a greater common purpose."
