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 February 1st, 2026!
Front Gallery: "Ground Truth" by @williamsillin & Elizabeth Lehman
"Both landscape painters, the two artists paint from direct observation. Lehman interprets "Ground Truth" with an emphasis on "Ground", as an artist with passion in physical presence within the landscapes she paints. Sillin interprets "Ground Truth" with an emphasis on "Truth", as he captures his subject with great care in an attempt to maintain the truth of its nature."
Back Gallery: "Stitchin` Kin" by @corbettanneke & Hannah Corbett
"Anneke S. Corbett is a quilter who derives inspiration from nature & fabrics. She states, โThe breathtaking moments of seeing creatures in the wild & then trying to convey the same in a quilt are often what keep me in the studio.โ Annekeโs daughter, Hannah Corbett, is an embroiderer who is currently creating the artwork for an Oracle Deck that she plans to self-publish. The images she is embroidering use brightly colored thread on black linen."
