THE ENCAUSTIC ART INSTITUTE
Come see the largest collection of encaustic/wax work in the nation!
The Encaustic Art Institute – a 501c3 – is celebrating its 19th year in operation. We feel fortunate that we have remained on the leading edge of encaustic/wax art for artists and patrons alike. Please take time to shop online – supporting the artists and their creative endeavors. Creativity is the lifeblood during these times and sales help steady the financial foundations to many.

- The Museum of Encaustic Art (MOEART.org), with over 450 works of art in its permanent collection. There are currently 124 pieces of encaustic/wax artwork showing on rotation in its New Mexico location. Click here to view the permanent collection online.
