We believe EPAC serves an important purpose; our art based programs are enriching and boost morale in the long winter months as well as bring people together for a deeper sense of community. We provide a full season of family-friendly entertainment (8-10 programs) and educational workshops that are not currently being offered by any other organization in Gardiner. School workshops, provided in conjunction with most of our art events, ensure that local students can participate in additional arts opportunities despite recent school limitations. This season, we plan to continue offering a school scholarship program, we plan to expand the programming we are able to provide to the Park County community area. We plan to offer at least two community art classes, including pottery and song writing, provided a small grant for the new school cafeteria lighting and sound system project (PCCF larger grant), purchase music for the community band,provided funding for art supplies at the school, assisted in a grant for the highschool to attend a Shane Center education program.
