ECA+ (Easthampton Cultural Council)

Easthampton City Arts+ (ECA+)
As the goals of Easthampton City Arts and the Easthampton Cultural Council are closely aligned and as the two groups in recent years have further increased their collaborations through sharing office space, coordinating events at Old Town Hall for monthly ArtWalks, and volunteer-led projects, it has been decided that these entities merge to establish the group Easthampton City Arts+ (ECA+) which will be part of the Easthampton Municipality and subject to Municipality rules and guidelines.
The mission of ECA+ is two-fold:
To create a strong cultural identity for the City of Easthampton by stimulating and supporting innovative and diverse cultural programs and activities aimed at enhancing public access to the arts and humanities; and To improve economic opportunities for artists and cultural establishments, while increasing the role that cultural activity plays in the revitalization of the community.

News & Events

This year, the ECC is once again looking for grant applications that feature COLLABORATIONS.
Next summer, Easthampton City Arts+ will be presenting Bear Fest 2012. ArtWalk also takes place every second Saturday of the month. These are two projects with which you might consider collaborating. As you may know, the Cultural Council, ArtWalk and Easthampton City Arts have merged to become ECA+. For more information on the merger, check our web site:

We'd love to see applications for projects that either take place during Bear Fest, or are thematically related to bears, leading up to the Bear Fest. Maybe you would like to participate in the St. Patrick's Day Parade with us. But don't feel limited by this 'theme' - we welcome all collaborations. Perhaps it would be fun to create a program for Easthampton school children to visit the Council on Aging for storytimes. Do you know musicians who are part of ECA+, or would you like to create a program with Arcadia or another Easthampton organization? There are lots of great collaborative opportunities throughout the city.
