The Eptek Centre is a bit different from the run-of-the-mill museum in that it is, as its name suggests, also an arts and culture centre, exhibiting both historical and cultural displays through the year. Displays change constantly through the year - as I write this the featured exhibit at the Eptek Centre is an exhibit featuring quilting and quilting history on Prince Edward Island, which runs from October 14th to November 9th, 2018.

The Eptek Centre is one of seven associated museums on PEI, each with a different basic theme, running the gamut from Acadian culture to fisheries to the railway. At the end of October, 2018 Eptek Art & Culture Centre will be celebrating 40 years of exhibitions and programming. Over the years, the centre has brought in national and international exhibitions on a broad range of subjects.
