Fresh Air

On January 16, we hosted our second-ever employee art show at the Swiss Institute in New York’s East Village. The prestige of the space played in conversation with the quality of the artwork, celebrating the talents of our team.  We invited the participating artists and attendees to engage with unique interpretations of our theme, Fresh Air. Our business is founded on life outdoors – the media we sell and walls we paint are out in the elemental open amongst passersby moving to-and-from on city streets. The subject Fresh Air felt more than fitting.

The topic is as broad as the sky itself, important as the air we breathe, and evocative of nature, conservation, regeneration, rejuvenation, growth, and change. The prompt posed a question that our colleagues answered in an abundance of artwork. And for one night only, the answer was a party.

The flurries of the city’s first measurable snowfall felt appropriate for the opening of Fresh Air. Clients and colleagues, friends and family braved the cold to celebrate a triumphant show. 

Fresh Air was available to view online through March 1, 2024.
