COLUMBUS – If you called Golden Artist Colors last week you might have heard the company's answering machine say; “Golden Artist Colors is closed for the day. All the employees are making art.”

Recently all the company's employees celebrated employee ownership by holding Paint Day.

An entire work day set aside for staff to paint and take workshops organized and led by fellow co-workers on staff who are artists. Employees who don’t normally pick up a paintbrush were given the chance to be artists for the day, spending their time pushing around paint, experimenting with materials and being creative.
