Dear Friends,

Happy Spring! It’s an exciting time of year with many projects and festivals coming up! We hope you’ll join us for our Easthampton Futures Project, Cultural Chaos, and our Youth Arts Initiative!

We would like to invite you to participate in the Easthampton Futures Project, a series of facilitated community workshops happening on Saturday May 18th, Saturday June 1st, and Saturday June 22nd. Together, we will envision and articulate the future of Arts & Culture for the City of Easthampton. The information generated in these public sessions will provide the foundation for the next version of the Arts & Culture chapter of the City of Easthampton’s Master Plan. 

Please also save the date for Cultural Chaos on Saturday June 8th. Our annual “street festival with a twist” highlights and celebrates the local artists, performers, and businesses that make Easthampton unique! This year, our second Youth Arts Initiative will create an original public mural in partnership with students attending Easthampton High School and it will be on display at Cultural Chaos. We invite you to join us in celebrating the young artists in our community and to see their incredible artwork!

All of us at ECA extend our appreciation to our extended community for the transformative role you play in Easthampton. We are deeply grateful for your support of the arts as it serves to brighten our community and to create connections among us all.

In the spirit of creativity
and community,

Pasqualina Azzarello
City Arts Coordinator
