“Encaustic art incs mission is: to promote public awareness, understanding and appreciation of encaustic/wax art. We do this by providing exhibit space to professional artists, and online artist exchange of information and technique, and hold workshops for persons of all ages.”

“Encaustic art institute (eai) celebrated its 10th year anniversary and accomplished its long term goal of moving its' gallery and headquarters to santa fe, nm. With this move, eai membership grew, visitors grew and involvement within the community expanded. The eai gallery is now doubled in space and is able to showcase more artwork as well as providing a space exclusive for workshops and demonstrations. Eai meets a community need by introducing a new medium to the school arts curriculum in order to revitalize the art-making experience and provide new opportunities for creative exploration and problem solving using the instant effects of wax. This experience is broadened with a discussion of the history of this unique medium, which is the second oldest art form in human history. Eai continues to provide a free online magazine bi-annually, providing a connection for encaustic/wax enthusiasts world-wide, and an exchange of information for working artists. At eai, both emerging and established artists are equally valued and supported, as are art enthusiasts and students of encaustic art, from youth to adults. Eai also began soliciting grant support for the first time in 2015, as well as donations in order to maintain financial health. The commitment to higher rent, and higher operating costs has motivated eai to gain a bottom-line beyond the membership fees and sales of artwork. With the move, eai also expanded it's hours from weekends only to 5 days a week and open 11 months out of the year. Consequently, eai successfully worked to create a larger volunteer staff to help with the added hours, and added showings and events held during the year.”
