WinterWaxHaven: Where Your Artistic Vision Takes Flight

WinterWax Haven has always been a cornerstone for artists seeking to not only refine their unique artistic voice but also to build the foundational business and organizational skills essential for a thriving creative career. What began as an annual event at the EncaustiCastle is now embarking on a new journey, traveling to inspiring, warmer locales.

Join us in the final week of January as we explore vibrant southern cities like New Orleans, Savannah, and Charleston, immersing ourselves in their rich artistic cultures. This redesigned retreat allows us to delve into the local art scene through exploration and critique, all while profoundly developing your creative expression, business acumen, and organizational skills. Our goal is to empower you to build a creative career that surpasses your greatest aspirations.

To mark this exciting relaunch, WinterWax Haven will commence its next chapter at its original home, the EncaustiCastle. This inaugural year back at the Castle offers participants an exclusive preview of our expanding facilities, including new extended artist residency accommodations set to host its first group of AiR in 2028. As a WinterWax participant, you'll be among the first to have the opportunity to apply for these residencies!
