Hello and thank you for taking a moment to learn more about this fabulous opportunity to support the Encaustic Museum and Institute, a nonprofit 501c3 with tax receipts upon request, in our mission to educate, inform, and inspire through our participation and involvement at EarthX 2023.

We are thrilled to have been invited to participate in the Inaugural Speaker Panel at EarthX 2023 where the audience will hear from an expert in the area of honeybee preservation and the direct impact on our communities, environment and long-term implications for global food supply. Our additional speaker will focus on the essence of artistic values as it relates to the ancient medium of encaustic —beeswax and resin

EarthX 2023 Expo is the world’s largest green gathering held annually around Earth Day in Dallas,TX, with over 177,000 visitors in 2022.

It has grown to become the largest event of its kind in the world, bringing together environmental organizations, businesses, academic institutions, government agencies, speakers, interactive programming and experts in their fields. EarthX 2023 offers both a powerful business networking forum and an engaging family-friendly exposition experience. https://earthx.org/expo/
