Heritage & History
FolkArt is one of the flagship brands of Plaid Enterprises, the Norcross, Georgia company that has been the leading American small-batch paint manufacturer for over 35 years. The FolkArt name evokes the American folk art tradition — the decorative painting of furniture, household items, and wooden crafts that flourished in early American homes — and the brand's wide color palette and consistent formula have made it the go-to acrylic for decorative painters across the country.
Plaid introduced FolkArt acrylics as a professional-quality paint designed for stroke work and decorative craft applications. The formula was developed to be rich and creamy with excellent coverage, suitable for both fine detail work and basecoating large surfaces. FolkArt has expanded to include multi-surface, outdoor, chalk, fabric, and specialty formulas while keeping production at the Georgia facility.
Made in Norcross, Georgia
All FolkArt paints are manufactured at Plaid Enterprises' facility in Norcross, Georgia, outside Atlanta. Plaid is the industry's leading small-batch paint manufacturer in the USA and has produced quality acrylic paints domestically for over 35 years without moving production overseas. Every bottle is explicitly labeled Made in USA, and the formula consistency that decorative painters depend on is a direct result of maintaining tight production control in a single domestic facility.
FolkArt offers over 200 colors across the standard acrylic line, plus specialty formulas including Chalk Paint, Outdoor Patio Paint, Multi-Surface Satin, Fabric Paint, and Pure Color highly pigmented acrylics. All products are available online and at major craft retailers. For painters who want consistent color, honest coverage, and American-made quality in their craft paints, FolkArt has been the Georgia-made answer for decades.
