The goal of the Museum of Encaustic Art is to grow the largest, most extensive, and best represented encaustic 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 this medium to the attention of the public at large through enticing exhibitions, tours, hands-on demonstrations, and collaboratively working with other community organizations.
