Mission Statement The goal of the Museum of Encaustic Art is to grow the largest, most extensive, and best represented encaustic/wax art collection in America. This includes at least four categories of encaustic art, such as encaustic painting, encaustic with paper and photography, encaustic with mixed media, encaustic sculpture, encaustic monotypes, and cold wax. This also includes bringing the attention of this medium to the public at large through enticing exhibits, tours/hands-on demonstrations and collaboratively working with other community organizations.
