Individual artists and emerging organizations face many obstacles when seeking funding necessary to achieve all their goals. Sponsors and memberships are never enough. Consequently, we need to solicit private support. Will you give today?

The Encaustic Art Institute (EAI) is proudly a non-profit 501c3 arts organization with a mission to promote public awareness, understanding, and appreciation of encaustic/wax art. We offer space and programs to exchange information and techniques for working with wax. In addition, EAI provides a place for our members to exhibit and sell their art through our online member gallery, juried and member exhibitions. We are pleased to present work made in diverse artistic styles using various techniques and applications of encaustic/wax.

EAI’s artists/members join with a range of experience levels – from those who are just beginning to explore encaustic/wax to emerging artists and artists with established professional careers.

• EAI’s approach to accepting artists’ work is unique and simple: no one will be turned down. There are no long forms to fill out, jury procedures, or portfolio presentations.

• We want to include anyone interested in encaustic/wax art — art historians, curators, scholars, collectors, art publishers, and other visual arts professionals — to become a part of EAI. The more freedom of expression and diversity we have, the more we will grow and become successful. You can help make all of this possible.
