    Brand and Communications Strategy

    Today Winsor & Newton launch the first International Art Prize with the Paul Smith's Foundation. This is exciting, not only because the brand and the foundation share common British heritage roots in art and design, with global reach and popularity, but also because joining forces gives us more power to support early career artists looking to grow. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who paints or draws using 'analogue' (yes it still happens!) paint, inks, pens, charcoals, pastels and pencils. The prize includes materials, a stipend and the winning artworks hung and sold from a Paul Smith Store in one of 6 international cities. Entries will also be considered by a highly prestigious group of global art world founders, curators, editors and gallerists. Please spread the word to anyone you know who could benefit. Opportunities like this don't come along every day. The prize was developed though the imagination and hard work of Martha Mosse at PSF and Helly Summerly, Joe Davis, Serena B., Charlotte Blanc and Tom Ball at Colart

    It is with immense honor and pride that we commemorate a truly extraordinary milestone - Heather Rayner's incredible 50 years of service with Crown, our brush making factory, located at Lowestoft, UK. Heather's journey with us began unexpectedly, as she transformed an office job interview into an opportunity within our esteemed brush production team. From her early days as a Brush Operative, Heather found joy and camaraderie amidst the lively production lines, fostering cherished relationships and creating enduring memories filled with laughter. Throughout her remarkable five decades of service, Heather has epitomized dedication and humility. Her steadfast commitment to excellence, coupled with her preference for working diligently behind the scenes, has been truly inspiring. Heather's devotion to Crown extends far beyond her professional duties, deeply rooted in the friendships she has nurtured over the years. As we honor Heather's extraordinary achievement, her legacy within Crown's history is truly indelible, and her influence immeasurable. Here's to you, Heather - a true legend of Crown, whose dedication and passion have shaped our company's success for five decades and counting! The Crown factory is the home of our brush making and it is here that the Winsor & Newton series 7 brush is made, originally commissioned by Queen Victoria and now earns us the Royal Warrant. Watch the film in the link below and you really understand why Heather has spent her 50 year career there. https://lnkd.in/ekYCaEV4 #50yearanniversary #craftmanship #artistbrushes #winsorandnewton #crownartistbrush #colart #inspiringeveryartitst
