Entries:    Encaustic Art Institute members are invited to submit one piece of work. The theme of this show is "The Art of Nature, and all that is Natural". We want this subject for you to be exploratory. The subject can be the actual portrayal of nature, but by no means is limited to that. The work can also include the 3D affect of nature, or the abstract interpretation of what is "natural" to you. We'd like this show to be individually interpretative, inspiring new work from your studios. 
No entry fee required.
Entries to be delivered to the Institute's Pyramid Gallery any Saturday or Sunday, noon to 5 PM but no later than Saturday, July 12th noon - 5 PM, no exceptions. 
Shipped entries must arrive by Saturday July 12th with shipping and insurance paid by the artist.

Advance press releases need to go out 1 month prior to show, so if you have your piece finished in time, please send us a clear image ASAP.
