OVERVIEW


Sustainable, High Quality Fine Art Paint


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


Keeping Paint Out of Landfills

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.


Source


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


Growing Demand & 
A Tested Manufacturing Process

Source


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


Giving Used Paint An Encore


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.

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.

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.

FAQS

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.

Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. This includes obtaining additional information about the company, opinions, financial projections, and legal or other investment advice. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment.

StartEngine Marketplace (“SE Marketplace”) is a website operated by StartEngine Primary, LLC (“SE Primary”), a broker-dealer that is registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and the SIPC.

StartEngine Secondary (“SE Secondary”) is our investor trading platform. SE Secondary is an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (“ATS”) operated by SE Primary that matches orders for buyers and sellers of securities. It allows investors to trade shares purchased through Regulation A+, Regulation Crowdfunding, or Regulation D for companies who have engaged StartEngine Secure LLC as their transfer agent. The term “Rapid,” when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace, specifically refers to transactions that are facilitated on SE Secondary, This is because, unlike with trades on the StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”), trades on SE Secondary are executed the moment that they are matched.

StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”) is a bulletin board platform on which users can indicate to each other their interest to buy or sell shares of private companies that previously executed Reg CF or Reg A offerings not necessarily through SE Primary. As a bulletin board platform, SE BB provides a venue for investors to access information about such private company offerings and connect with potential sellers. All investment opportunities on SE BB are based on indicated interest from sellers and will need to be confirmed. Even if parties express mutual interest to enter into a trade on SE BB, a trade will not immediately result because execution is subject to additional contingencies, including among others, effecting of the transfer of the shares from the potential seller to the potential buyer by the issuer and/or transfer agent. SE BB is distinct and separate from SE Secondary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. By contrast, under SE BB, SE Primary assists with the facilitation of a potential resulting trade off platform including, by among other things, approaching the issuer and other necessary parties in relation to the potential transaction. The term “Extended”, when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace denotes that these transactions are conducted via SE BB, and that these transactions may involve longer processing times compared to SE Secondary for the above-stated reasons.

Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on SE Marketplace, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained.
