FLOW - Juried Encaustic/Wax Exhibition open to Encaustic Art Institute (EAI) members

Organization: Encaustic Art Institute/Museum of Encaustic Art Location Museum of Encaustic Art Cerrillos, NM and online Entry Fee Paid Entry Deadline April 17, 2022 Exhibition Jun 5 - Jul 17, 2022
The Encaustic Art Institute proudly presents a call for entries for 'FLOW,' a National Juried Encaustic/Wax Exhibition. This exhibit is an in-person and online national juried exhibition, juried by Ruth Maude, open to all members of the Encaustic Art Institute. Any artist who is a member of the Encaustic Art Institute and resides outside of the US is also eligible to enter.

The in-person exhibition will show at the Museum of Encaustic Art in New Mexico, with an online component. The exhibition will be held from June 5 - July 17.

Artists may enter artwork consisting of any combination or form of wax-based media, and work should relate to the theme of the exhibit, 'Flow'.

Entry fee: $20.

(If you are not currently registered as an EAI member but would like to enter this show, you may contact [email protected] or visit the membership tab of the EAI website https://www.eainm.com to join and enter this exhibit).

Artists may enter one encaustic/wax piece for consideration by the juror, by submitting one (1) primary image, and up to three (3) additional detail/close-up images of the artwork depicted in the primary image. (Detail images are optional).

THEME: FLOW
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, a Hungarian-American psychologist, showed how everyone from artists to assembly-line workers could be transported to a state of focused contentment by getting caught in the 'flow,' a term he coined and later popularized.

Flow has been on people's minds, since the tide of disruptions in our personal norms. An older saying has been resurrected, 'Go With The Flow,' and seems to be the mantra. In addition, the natural form of encaustic medium is 'to flow', so is the act of creativity in any form of wax - hot or cold. It is a state of well-being when creating that we hope you will attain with your entries.

There are no parameters to your expression, the guidelines are only that your artwork is current, be made from wax-based media, and relate to the theme. (See size restrictions in the entry instructions).

JUROR: RUTH MAUDE
The juror will make selections based on the quality of the work, how well the piece interprets the FLOW theme, and how well the work contributes to the overall cohesiveness of the exhibit.

Application dates from Feb 12 - April 17, 2022.
