Epsten Gallery has established an ever-expanding sphere of awareness for its programs as well as access at the local level to its new ARTcipation program.
Launched by Epsten Gallery in 2012, the ARTicipation program began as a strategic partnership with the Kansas Art Therapy Association to enhance the services provided by Epsten Gallery in its partnership with Village Shalom, a continuum-care campus in Overland Park, KS, which houses the Epsten Gallery’s office and primary exhibition and program venue.
Through ARTicipation, the Epsten Gallery now fosters collaborative partnerships with other agencies, institutions and organizations throughout the region to develop and provide art therapy-based community arts activities and cultural events — sharing cultural, intellectual and creative resources to develop site-specific and interactive programs of original and thematic content to serve audiences with a range of special needs and abilities as well as the general public.
