Wallkill River Center for the Arts (WRCA) is pleased to present Flux & Form: Wax as a Material and Alaina Enslen: Rewilding on view in the galleries March 28 – May 10, 2026.
Flux & Form: Wax as a Material, brings together contemporary artists working with wax as a primary material, many drawing from the ancient encaustic tradition. One of the oldest known painting methods, encaustic has been used for centuries, yet continues to evolve through contemporary practices. Inspired by the natural world, the works in this exhibition explore wax’s capacity to preserve, transform, and record time, bridging historical technique with present-day material inquiry.Exhibiting artists: Regina Quinn, Allyson Levy, Christina Brady, Michele Randall, Lorraine Glessner, Dietlind Vander Schaaf, Sally Hootnick, Teri Yacovelli, and Laura Martinez Bianco.
Curated by Alaina Enslen, the exhibit runs concurrently with her solo show, Rewilding.
