Easthampton City Arts merged with the Easthampton Cultural Council and Art Walk Easthampton to form ECA+ in 2011. Easthampton City Arts+, formed in 2005, enriches lives through the integration of arts, culture and community and promotes revitalization and protection of Easthampton’s cultural assets.

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.

Local Guidelines

In addition to the state criteria, applications will be evaluated using the following review criteria:

• Proposed projects must benefit the residents of Easthampton.

• Projects must be well planned: including appropriate support materials detailing a specified date, time, and location; a strong publicity strategy; and a well-planned adjustment for the project if the council is unable to fund the entire amount requested.

• Projects must further the diversity in Easthampton's programming in the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences, i.e. engaging a population with cultural needs within the community or supporting diverse forms of cultural activities within the community.

• Where appropriate, projects should demonstrate community support (i.e. if you are planning to present your project in a public space, the grant application must include letters of support or commitment to use the space; if your project is to benefit a particular group, include letters of support from that group.)

• Projects must occur Jan. – Dec. of the calendar year following the October application deadline and be reimbursed within 12 months of receipt if the acceptance letter.

• Applicants who have received funding from the council in the past should not assume they will receive the same funding from prior cycles.

• If supplemental materials cannot be uploaded to or exceed the file limit of the online application portal, they may be emailed to ecagrants@easthampton.org or mailed or delivered to
Easthampton City Arts+ Grants Committee
43 Main St., Easthampton, MA 01027
by or before October the deadline. If you send us materials outside of the online application, please indicate this in your application, and include your application ID with your materials. Supplemental material will not be returned.
