The La Vendéenne [la vahn day en] Awards are named in honor of a fourth century female encaustic artist, Laia, whose buried remains were found--along with the tools of her encaustic art -- in the La Vendée region of France. The 2016 Awards will recognize outstanding contributions to the advancement and practice of encaustic art in five categories: Artistry, Innovation, Education, Media, and Lifetime Achievement Nominations for each award may be made by anyone in the art community. Finalists and awardees in Artistry, Innovation, Education, and Media will be selected by an impartial jury.
