A visit to EPIC– Part One

A colorful, guitar-playing sculpture dominates the hallway, with a wall of engraved plaques in the background.

This week, I went on a field trip with some 7th graders at our school.  We toured a company that makes medical software for hospitals and clinics.  The company has three different locations in our area.  The campus we visited had about 13 different buildings.  Each building has a decorative theme.  There was TONS of artwork from local artists around the buildings.  It was amazing!  There was so much to take pictures of, that I only took pictures of my favorites.   I will tell you about the tour in two blog posts.

A woman sits on a bench next to a metal sculpture of a humanoid figure with a book in its lap.
Here’s me next to a Dr. Suess style sculpture.
A portrait of a bald, elderly man deep in thought, with glasses on his forehead and his hand resting on his chin.
This was a sculpture attached to a picture frame.  The guy is super realistic looking and it kind of creeped me out when I looked at it up close.
Modern building with large windows, surrounded by a neatly landscaped garden with paths and grass under a blue sky.
Here’s part of the outside courtyard.  The 13 buildings are connected by indoor walkways.
Entrance to a faux Grand Central Station with murals of trains on the walls, featuring marble and stone-themed decor.
Look at the paintings on the wall.. this was a New York themed area.
A green staircase with a vintage delicatessen mural on the wall in an industrial-style building.

  1. Wow! How cool to have a large corporation value the arts and be willing to share it with their community. How rare. I bet the students were mightily impressed!

  2. What a fun tour. I wish when we were in school we did more things like this. I know WI is the dairy state but farm tours and apple orchards are not the only tours school kids deserve.

    Nice to find another WI blogger.

    BTW – next week I am hosting a giveaway. I hope you come enter, or send friends.

  3. Love it! What a fun field trip! A close friend of mine works at Epic and I always love hearing about all the cool things that company has for it's employees- the art is fantastic! Thanks for posting!

    And I agree with DogsMom… nice to see another WI blogger!! 😉

  4. EPIC employees a ton of people in Madison. Two of the kids we were with had parents that worked there. It was a super cool trip. I'll have to check out your blogs if you are from WI too!
