An IEA Anthology Exhibition 

Wax artists know the true nature of expressing themselves using light. The quality of light within an artwork is its essential power, manifesting as illumination that may be bright, glossy, radiant, ethereal, or dazzling. Light shapes how we see, who we are, and how we experience the world.

International Encaustic Artists invites artists to explore The Weight of Light - how it can reveal the human experience - across cultures, time and history.

What Is an Anthology Exhibition?

When juried into The Weight of Light exhibition, artists are granted the prestige of exhibiting their work in the inaugural edition of the IEA, “Wax Fusion Anthology.” Unlike a brick-and-mortar or online exhibition, an Anthology is a permanent, international, and collectible reference that will celebrate the diverse excellence of the hot and cold wax genre.

The Weight of Light Anthology will influence the aesthetic standards for reproduction and presentation, while showcasing the creation and significance of your artwork. The importance of an anthology exhibition is its power to shape perception, preserve history and elevate art and artists within the global discourse. This striking publication will distinguish encaustic and cold wax from other media, and significantly expand IEA’s standing for excellence on a worldwide scale.
