The EPIC Educator Award was presented to Santa Barbara Maritime Museum for their innovative approach to inspire the public through hands-on educational experiences. Founded by a group of fishermen, divers, and sailors who are a part of this exciting history, SBMM centered on interactivity and the founders envisioned it as a place where the public could experience maritime culture without leaving the harbor. The museum has nearly 8,000 square feet of exhibits, and a docking space for three historic vessels and a 5,000 sq. ft off-site warehouse for storage of an artifact collection. The 88-seat, high-definition Munger Theater provides a venue for films, lectures, and panel discussions on all things maritime.
The EPIC Artist Award was presented to artist, Candy Chang. She has demonstrated outstanding creative, artistic accomplishments, through the activation of public spaces throughout the world.
