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.

Donโt miss these incredible shows on view now at @oxbowgallery. Catch them before they close on March 29th, 2026! And don`t forget to attend the artist reception taking place THIS Saturday, 4-7PM, during Art Walk Easthampton!
"Inside Out" by @elizabeth_meyersohn
Meyersohn will be exhibiting a collection of recent oil paintings. The work on display will focus on veiled windows and views with moons and branches. Through this show, Meyersohn continues to explore the emotional impact of perceiving nature.
"Tension" by @catherineswiftpaintings
Swift has always been an artist, but developed an acute interest in painting over the past 20 years. She describes it as a critical form of expression, which she uses to communicate experiences, thoughts, and feelings. The basic tenet of her work is an โinternal landscapeโ which she presents through shape, color, texture, and abstract images.

As you explore during Art Walk this Saturday, March 7th from 4โ7PM, be sure to stop by three incredible exhibitions happening around town at @mt.toms.icecream, @84_andahalf, and @dry_humor_bottle_shop!
Stephen Levine Photographs @mt.toms.icecream
"Stephen Levine is a retired family physician who practiced at Holyoke Medical Center for the past 39 years. He has always loved photography and has, in recent years, been able to fine tune his photographic skills. He particularly enjoys photographing local nature scenes as well as local flowers."
Richard Neal Mixed Media @84_andahalf @chalkboardstudio
"While many of you have enjoyed Barbie turns 50 in the window at 84 1/2, weโd like to invite you to come out and see some of the other cool, large mixed media works by Richard Neal! Neal is a graduate of Cranbrook Academy of Art, and was recently the subject of a one-person exhibit at the Provincetown Art Museum."
Ashley Aponte-Rivera @dry_humor_bottle_shop
"Ashley (they/them) is a Borikรฉn artist whose work explores Taino spirituality, ancestral lineage, and the reclamation of Indigenous Caribbean identity. Their art acts as both personal reflection and collective remembrance, with a contemporary Pop art twist, amplifying Indigenous presence in modern art spaces."
Spend the evening walking, discovering, and supporting local artists. See you out there!
