     The call for art nation-wide, asked encaustic/wax artists to delve into the creative process with the idea of "new territory".      The theme encourages artists to work outside of their comfort zone and build on something new, whether it is experimenting with a new technique or even a new style.  Hot and Cold wax are represented in an amazing variety of techniques with one dominant element present - WAX.  Ellen Koment the juror, a local New Mexico artist has worked with this medium for over 20 years and is a recent recipient of the 2018 Gottlieb Foundation Artist Grant.  She narrowed down the entries to 51 artists, which can be viewed in the main gallery of the Museum.
