For EAI Members – Info on Submitting to the Online Member Gallery

Any current Encaustic Art Institute (EAI) member may participate in the Online Member Gallery. Each member may have up to two works at a time shown in the online gallery.

To participate: submit one or two high-resolution JPEGs, along with information about each image to us (see details below), and we will post your work in our online gallery.   

To check your current membership eligibility status, contact Adrienne Mehrens at membership.eai@gmail.com or call 505-424-6487.

Pricing and sales for the EAI Member Gallery: All artwork must be available for purchase at the time you submit the work and remain eligible for sale for the entire time the work is being exhibited online with us. Please note:  If, after submitting work to us for the member gallery, you sell it separately from your own studio or through another exhibition or gallery, please notify us as soon as possible so we can remove it from our site and replace it with another piece.  We can mark it as sold until you submit a new piece to replace it. We have had work shown in the member gallery be sold (either to an in-person or online buyer) only to find out that the work is no longer available. We can avoid inconvenience (for everyone concerned) if you remember to tell us if a work is no longer available for sale.

The Institute, in accordance with the vote of EAI’s Board of Directors, retains a 40% commission fee, with 60% of the sales price going back to the artist for work sold from the EAI Member Gallery. Please price your work accordingly.

To submit work for the online member gallery:

Email us two JPEGs of your work that you would like us to feature in the EAI Member Gallery Online. (We prefer high-resolution images – images saved at 300 dpi – but will accept an image saved at 150 dpi with the largest dimension of 1500 px). Label the JPEGs with your last name and the title of the piece. Click here to read more about sending us images of your work. Along with your JPEGs, email us the following information:

• • your name
  • the city and state you currently live in (or province + country if outside the US)
  • your current email address
  • the title of the piece
  • the medium used – including the substrate it is on
  • dimensions h x w in inches (list the vertical dimension first, and x depth IF your piece is 3-dimensional)
  • retail price

We will post a reel on Instagram of new work we receive. If you have an Instagram account, provide us with the IG handle or link to your profile so we can tag you when we post it. 

We will add the shipping fee and tax, and note the total price in the cart and in the description of your piece.

You will NOT be shipping the actual work to us. You will only be sending the JPEGs and information.  Once your piece has been sold, we will contact you with the buyer’s information, and you will ship the work directly to them. The buyer pays the shipping cost and tax. You will be responsible for shipping to your customer. If the shipping costs exceed what the customer has paid, EAI will cover the difference.

Once we have notified you that a work of yours has sold, you may send us a new JPG/info, and we will post the latest piece for you. (You may also opt to replace unsold work in the online gallery at any time by sending new image(s)/information.)

If you have any questions about the process, contact Adrienne Mehrens at  505-424-6487 or Mehrens@eainm.com.
