A Visit to EPIC– Part 2

By | |
A vintage newsstand with a sign reading "CANDY - SODA - MAGAZINES." Newspapers, photos, and signs are displayed.

Earlier this week, I toured a medical software company with some 7th graders at our school.  The hallways are decorated very artistically and contain many works of sculpture and paintings.   For part one of my visit to EPIC, go here!

Artwork featuring a stylized female face painted over a background of red text reading "KEEP" and "NO TRESPASSING."
I LOVED this one!

A white wall with various mounted computer components, including a keyboard, fan, wires, and circuit boards.
A unique sculpture made of computer parts.  Kind of reminds me of Louise Nevelson.

A colorful, abstract fabric sculpture is displayed on a white wall in a hallway with a wooden ceiling.
Fabric art on the wall

Sculpture of a woman with animals and nature elements integrated into her design, extending a hand towards an apple.

Four people visit a dark hallway illuminated by star-like lights on the ceiling and glowing strips along the floor.
This was a celestial hallway.  Yes, this is in the office building!

Three people stand in front of a dark cave entrance with a signpost pointing to Heaven, Andromeda, and Hell, as they gear up for an EPIC visit.
Also in the hallway… a heaven/hell junction.

A person walking down a hallway with a wall mural of clouds and sky.
This was my favorite hallway.  It was very light and airy feeling.

Long couch covered with various patterned faux fur throws, situated in a grey-carpeted room with large windows.
Wouldn’t you love to have chairs like this in a conference room?

A detailed, colorful mosaic clock stands against a wall with an open door visible to the right.

A person visits a hallway with large colorful paintings of flowers and abstract designs on the wall, making for an EPIC visual experience.
pretty flowers.. totally my style

A whimsical sculpture of a bird made from various materials, standing tall on a platform with blue wheels, is a piece to visit.
The head of this is made out of a scrubby brush thing.

Colorful rocking horse statue in a bright, modern lobby with a purple chair and a small, decorated tree.

Indoor metal slide with a curved design, emptying onto a dark carpet in a building interior with hallways visible. Visit this unique attraction and experience the fun!
Can you believe this office building also has a slide!?

    Marcia –

    Love it! Thanks for posting. It is so wonderful that any company (much less a medical software firm?) celebrates the arts and local artists. What a fab field trip. Your students are very lucky.

    I LOVE the celestial-feeling hallway. And the clock. And the bird. And the slide… I want to work there and I don't even know what they do!!
