FROM THE INSTITUTE
The Encaustic Art Institute ’ s move to Santa Fe has been monumental for many reasons . First , the beautiful 3500 sf . sky-lighted space that houses the Permanent Collection , and a 1000 sf . separate gallery space that houses our members work , combined with the education workshop area – is an encaustic environment that is inspiring in and of itself .
Secondly , EAI has already collaborated with community programs such as Artsmart , culminating with a large outside mural on the Institute ’ s site . In addition , EAI is now involved with a teaching program within the Santa Fe school district . We have been chosen to teach in different elementary / middle schools , introducing encaustic and its history .
Third , EAI has realized in the last 8 months – increased membership , participation in shows , sales , workshop participation and gallery traffic . EAI is enjoying renewed confidence in the expansion of the Encaustic / Wax movement and its increased role in the art world .
In addition , we are excited to announce our collaboration with Artisan Art Supply , who puts on the largest art expo in America , right here in Santa Fe . EAI has been invited to participate with encaustic / wax demos , workshops , and mini-retreats coinciding with the 4-day event in October 2016 . Check out the full page ad in the back of the magazine for more information , and mark your calendars !!
We are excited to bring you the 10th issue of this free online Encaustic Art Magazine . This issue will once again be full of inspiration and details about encaustic artists and their work .
