An Epic Home for the Arts.
Among the first of its kind in the United States, the facility fosters an atmosphere of cooperation and collaboration, by offering tenants shared classrooms, building equipment, and meeting spaces, as well as discounted rental rates. Management of the Epic Center is also delivered with an appreciation for and understanding of the unique challenges and needs of arts organizations. Most of the tenants that moved into this showstopper of a building when it first opened are still tenants today.
