Arts Response

Epoch Arts Arts Response

We believe that the arts can help change our world, and our purpose with "An Arts Response" is to bring critical issues out of the dark and into people's conscience. Every year, Epoch Arts responds to a crisis in the world with the arts. Be it painting, poetry, or plays - whatever your art form is.
