The Emerging Performing Artists (EPA) program provides up-and-coming artists with a variety of opportunities to perform, reach local audiences and find support. Each session includes a performance opportunity and a workshop or studio session. Sessions center on musical performance but are open to other forms of artistic performance. The performance opportunity will be open for the public to watch bringing these sessions to life.
