Arrtx at NAMTA 2025 - Thank you for a fantastic weekend in Seattle!
The 2025 NAMTA Show is over, but we’re still inspired! Arrtx had the pleasure of participating in this global creative event held at the Seattle Convention Center Summit Tower from April 6-8 - it was such an unforgettable weekend.

We connected with artists, retailers, and fellow makers from around the world, and we are grateful to everyone who stopped by our booth, tried our materials, and shared their passion.

🎨 Arrtx Product Spotlight: Colorful Debut

A highlight of this year's show was the official launch of our new acrylic marker series, which attracted the attention of many visitors who couldn't wait to experience the painting level of the new products. From on-site demonstrations to hands-on trials, we were pleasantly surprised to find their advantages.

The new products have a brand-new color system to meet the painting needs of more artists. In terms of product functional design, they are also innovative. In terms of ink control, there are also direct liquid ink markers and pump action markers. 

In addition to our acrylic markers, we also displayed Alcohol markers, it is still a must-have for illustrators and designers who pursue smooth smudges and bold colors. While colored pencils are popular for their soft leads and vibrant layers, Drawing pastels have become an unexpected favorite among artists and educators.

🖼️ About NAMTA: Creativation Takes Center Stage

Hosted by the National Art Materials Trade Association (NAMTA), Creativation is more than a trade show; it’s a gathering place for innovators and creatives in the art supplies space.

This year’s show in Seattle brought together leading brands, independent creators, and curious emerging artists. Whether it was exploring new tools or discussing trends in art and craft, the atmosphere was full of possibilities—and we were honored to be a part of it.

🎁 Live Giveaways and Happy Hours

Who doesn’t love a good giveaway? During the exhibition, visitors who followed us on our Instagram page @Arrtxart had the chance to win exclusive Arrtx gifts, including our custom canvas tote bags and a three-piece acrylic marker set. These little gifts were our way of showing appreciation for everyone’s creativity and connection.

💬 Connect with Art Lovers

We talked with art teachers, professional illustrators, DIY enthusiasts, painting material sellers, and art novices. We discussed the use of products and inspiration for art painting and learned about what everyone likes about Arrtx, their expectations for new products, and their blessings to Arrtx.

These conversations reminded us of the original intention of doing this work and gave us enough motivation to be full of motivation for the future. We communicated with users, artists, etc., to understand their painting needs and continuously upgrade and optimize our products.

✨Looking to the future

Although the event is over, the inspiration we gained in Seattle has just begun. We are already brewing new ideas and products based on the feedback and ideas received during the exhibition. For those who were not there, please stay tuned! We will share more photos, new product releases, and surprises on various platforms. Thank you to everyone who came.

Until next time - stay creative and stay colorful. 💛
