IEA's Mentoring Program

We have invited a small group of exceptional artist mentors to help us launch our new mentoring program. Each mentor provides unique strengths, experience, and skills in support of the continued growth of artists at all levels of experience and all stages of their journey as artists working in wax media.

We invite you to contact artists directly to discuss possible mentoring arrangements. Click on the icons below to learn more about each mentor and how to connect with them.

In addition, IEA will launch a Mentorship Grant Opportunity in 2024! Check back and follow us on Instagram and Facebook for details and announcements.
