Deep in the heart of Paris in 2019, Cercle des Artistes are on a mission to break traditional art barriers and make artistic creation accessible to all. The brainchild of Dany Mendes, the organization aims to be a cultural facilitator. More than a gallery, their space is described as ‘a sanctuary of innovation and creativity’ igniting new artistic collaboration and acting as a catalyst for artistic careers. Liquitex is proud to partner with this initiative, promoting creativity, progress and community building.

Through exhibitions, collaborations, and cultural events, Cercle des Artistes foster opportunities by connecting creatives with each other and with business leaders, athletes and opinion formers. Their "Pot of Paint" creative workshops pop up in all kinds of spaces - corporate offices, schools, community areas, the open air - each led by a Cercle des Artistes emerging artist. Aimed at everyone, from groups of friends to employee teams, the workshops offer a creative break from daily life, a place to discover and express their artistic potential, where creativity, friendliness, and cultural exchange blend together. Liquitex has been supporting Cercle des Artistes artists and events by providing free resources and materials to help spread the positive power of creativity.
