EPiC Arts works with the philosophy that Every Person Counts (EPiC)
i-genius: Why is Epic Arts important? Rachel: Our projects celebrate the creative potential of those with whom we work, by offering new skills and giving each participant an outlet for their creative expression. Our motto is: 'See ability not disability.'

i-genius: What has been your biggest challenge to date? Rachel: Core funding

i-genius: What is the future of Epic Arts? Rachel: We are in the process of expanding our work in the UK and next year we are hoping to set up an office in Shanghai, China.

i-genius: If you could paint the world in three colours, what would they be and why? Rachel: Yellow - the colour of sun and warmth . Green - the colour of growth and life. Purple - the colour of royalty and grandeur.

This is really interesting. I also love arts and before I use to volunteer and teach indigenous children and children in the slums using art workshops. I miss it a lot and I am looking forward to such activity as this in the present because it is very fulfilling. As for Epic Arts, I wish you all the best for your organization. I am hoping that you will be able to touch people\'s lives especially those who are in need and make a difference to the world. Keep it up!!
