EPIC Southcoast is dedicated to making the creative vision of the people of Southcoast MA the fabric of the physical reality we live in.

We do that by bringing people together through participatory cultural events and establishing partnerships that support other Southcoast artists and visionaries. Our mission is to enhance community life on the Southcoast of Massachusetts with free, inclusive, collaborative, creative opportunities for all. Through the arts we stress intentional place making, sculpting our shared community concept, building our present and future culture together, and celebrating all the unique and diverse people we are. Every place is a concept, join us in the playful work of building a concept worthy of the word home.
