At Grabie, we believe art should be experienced, explored, and made part of everyday life. We’re proud to bring that belief to a special collaboration with the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (FAMSF), one of the country’s leading fine arts institutions. Featuring works from FAMSF’s permanent collection across some of Grabie’s most-loved watercolor sets, the collaboration brings together the legacy of a renowned museum institution with Grabie’s mission to make art and creativity accessible to everyone. About the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (FAMSF) unite two distinct museums: the de Young in Golden Gate Park: And the Legion of Honor in Lincoln Park: Together, the de Young and Legion of Honor comprise the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the largest public arts institution in San Francisco and one of the largest art museums in the United States. Across the two museums, visitors can experience art spanning centuries, cultures, and creative traditions. Two Artistic Views of San Francisco At the heart of the Grabie × FAMSF collection are two works from the museums’ permanent collection, each capturing a distinctive view of San Francisco. Fog over the Gate, 1935James Harrison Forman Few sights are as closely associated with San Francisco as the Golden Gate emerging through layers of fog. James Harrison Forman’s Fog over the Gate captures the atmosphere of the city and one of its most recognizable views. Russian Hill, San Francisco, ca. 1945Harold John Brothers   Harold John Brothers’ Russian Hill, San Francisco offers another perspective on the city, capturing the character of one of its best-known neighborhoods. Together, the two works celebrate a city whose distinctive landscape has inspired generations of artists.

Where Museum Art Meets Everyday Creativity The Grabie × FAMSF collection gives these works a new creative context beyond the museum, placing them directly in the hands of today’s artists and creators. It’s a natural connection between FAMSF’s commitment to preserving and sharing art and Grabie’s commitment to making creativity accessible. Through this collaboration, two works created decades ago become part of the creative process today, continuing the cycle of art inspiring art.

Sometimes, making art doesn't have to begin with a blank page. Sometimes, it's simply about slowing down, putting your phone aside, and enjoying the quiet rhythm of adding color to a page. That idea inspired our newest Grabie® Trace & Color Drawing Kit, created with illustrator Yeti Iglesias, also known as "The Color Queen." Meet Yeti Iglesias Yeti's illustrations are instantly recognizable for their bold colors, flowing botanical shapes, playful animals, and unexpected details. Inspired by everyday moments like coffee, neighborhood walks, and books, her work feels vibrant, curious, and full of life! For this collaboration, we wanted to make her colorful world easy for anyone to explore. A More Relaxed Creative Experience We've heard from many people that some coloring books feel overwhelming, and choosing colors can become another decision after a busy day. The Trace & Color Drawing Kit was created for a different kind of creative moment. Instead of worrying about drawing the perfect sketch, you can trace the artwork and simply enjoy coloring. It's a chance to step away from screens, slow your pace, and reconnect with making something by hand. You can follow Yeti's color palette or create your own. There are no rules—just the freedom to enjoy the process. What's Inside Each Electric Wild Trace & Color Drawing Kit includes: A Trace & Color Drawing Book featuring Yeti Iglesias' original illustrations 5 Dual Tone Brush Tip Acrylic Paint Markers, offering 10 curated colors Premium 180gsm Heavyweight Vellum, designed for smooth tracing and a satisfying coloring experience with acrylic markers Everything is designed to make getting started feel simple. Enjoy the Process Working with Yeti reminded us that creativity doesn't always need to start from scratch. Sometimes, all you need is a quiet moment, a few colors, and the space to enjoy making something without worrying about the outcome. We hope this collection encourages you to slow down, unplug for a while, and rediscover the simple joy of coloring. If you create something you'd like to share, we'd love to see it. Tag @grabieofficial and @yetiglesias to show us your finished piece.

It’s always meaningful to see how art can create moments of connection, and we were grateful to play a small role in a recent event at Oklahoma Children’s Hospital. Our Grabie Art Fund donated 100 sets of Dual Tip Water-Based Sketch Marker Sets to the Oklahoma Children’s Hospital, and they put them to good use! The “Painting Pawtist” party brought together patients, siblings, and caregivers for an experience centered around art and connection. Participants had the opportunity to paint personalized paint-by-number canvases featuring some of the hospital’s most beloved companions, its adorable facility dogs Churro, Duchess, and Prince! With guidance from the hospital’s incredible art therapy team, including Brittany and Barbara, along with art volunteer Daissy, families also explored a hands-on splatter paint room. Churro, Duchess, and Prince, the beloved therapy dogs, play an important role in providing comfort and emotional support to patients, and seeing them brought to life through art was such a special and fun moment to have everyone participate in. Events like this are at the heart of the Grabie Art Fund, bringing art into spaces where it can make a real difference. We’re grateful to partner with organizations like Oklahoma Children’s Hospital and to support the incredible work of their teams, who create moments of light, joy, and connection for the families that are going through challenging times.
