OVERVIEW
Encore Artistic Solutions is committed to giving the waste stream a second life as quality products in the $4.5 trillion circular economy (Source). While we look at waste streams across the entirety of the circular economy, our beachhead market focuses on the nearly 75 million gallons of paint that are discarded each year (Source).
At Encore Artistic Solutions, we make fine art paint sustainable by using large quantities of discarded paint to manufacture our high-quality, upcycled paint to meet artists' desires for premium materials and environmental sustainability.
Our entire process is domestically sourced, produced, and distributed to avoid the pervasive and persistent global supply chain challenges. Our goal is to build a community that reduces the impact of discarded paint by disrupting the waste stream and transforming it into artwork.
The Problem & our Solution
Nearly 75 million gallons of paint are discarded each year (Source). Most unused paint ends up in landfills, even though it is classified as hazardous waste. Many artists care about the environment but lack options that reduce their impact.
We developed a paint manufacturing process that uses at least 60% upcycled premium quality acrylic materials. We collect used paints from consumer drop-off sites and use our proprietary blend of materials to deliver paint that is both high-quality and sustainable.
In addition, we use our "Created with Encore" platform to partner with leading brands seeking to deliver on quality and sustainability while valuing a more creative, collaborative, community-minded, and circular tomorrow. Our first product, Tomorrow's Artist™, is a premium fine art paint brand birthed in the world-famous Laguna Beach Art District.
The Market & our traction
The global arts and crafts market is growing rapidly, expected to increase from $347.53 billion in 2020 to $552.57 billion by the end of 2025. Our total attainable market in art paint alone is valued at $935.80 million (Source | Source).
We have spent over four years developing and refining our first product as well as tested it with dozens of artists. Our conversion process and art paint product formulation are protected by provisional patents, and we have multiple trademarks in various stages of development.
why invest
We are reducing the amount of paint that ends up in landfills while still delivering premium quality that artists love. As we grow, we are preparing to launch a broad social media marketing campaign to further build our community. Through our partnerships with retailers and e-commerce vendors and the development of exciting new products, we are ready to create a brighter, more sustainable future for artists who want to make more art, not more waste.

This means eligible StartEngine shareholders will receive a 10% bonus for any shares they purchase in this offering.

As Encore prepares to close our funding round on StartEngine, we want to share with you that we successfully introduced our upcycling concept to the world at the Namta® 2023, The International Art Materials Association. Namta members are retail sellers, supplier manufacturers, distributors and importers, and independent representatives of art materials products.
With three days of meetings with the world’s foremost purchasers of products for the artistic community, we are overwhelmed by the positive response we experienced. These buyers are looking for product for major channels in both fine art and craft lines of the industry. The good news is that we have products that serve both of these communities and have a very promising future ahead of us.
To the investors that have participated in our StartEngine fundraising efforts, we thank you for helping us get there and securing these meetings. For the potential investors still following us and keeping an eye on our progress, it is time to get in now that we are in the final days of our crowdfunding campaign. We will not be extending beyond April 17th. Our business is positioned to grow without the need for outside funding.
We are inviting the 170 StartEngine followers to jump in and serve the mission with us!!!

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
