A note from ECA's Arts & Culture Program Director
Dear ECA Community,
Easthampton City Arts is thrilled to announce our 20th Anniversary Year of community arts and cultural programming in the City of Easthampton! We extend our immense gratitude to each and every one of you who has played a part in establishing our organization, volunteered as an ECA Committee & Subcommittee Member, participated as a Visual Artist, Musician, Poet, or Performer, contributed to our programming as an event attendee or volunteer, and has shared your voice and vision with us as dedicated community members!
As a municipal organization, we orient ourselves and operate in direct response and relationship to this vital and evolving community we are a part of — and we are simultaneously honored, proud, and humbled to reach this meaningful milestone, as the direct result of working and growing together. Thank you all so much!
To celebrate, we’ve got a robust lineup of public programming throughout 2025 that’s free and engaging for people of all ages — and we encourage you all to mark your calendars for all that’s to come! And, if you aren’t familiar with ECA’s unique history and role in the City, you can learn more about it here.

Only one week left to see Trace Meekโs incredible exhibition โLost Townโ, up now at ECA Gallery!
Artist Statement: โIโm Trace Meek, a designer, artist, photographer, writer, and musician based in Massachusetts. Whatever medium I work in, I enjoy the interplay of the heart, the mind, and the hands. I love to search for meaning, develop ideas, and express them in visual, tactile, and intellectual form. Lost Town is a series of eleven paintings inspired by the true story of the four lost towns of the Swift River Valley.โ
Trace will be hosting open gallery hours tomorrow, Saturday, February 21st, from 9:30AM-12PM! Donโt miss the chance to see this collection up close.
For more information about this artist and their work, visit @trace_meek_ or tracemeek.com. To find out details about this specific exhbition, read Traceโs blogpost at tracemeek.com/lost-town.
