The Easthampton Cultural Council, a local cultural council of the Massachusetts Cultural Council, is pleased to announce the recipients of 2025’s granting cycle.

This was a historic year for the ECC with a record 71 applications for funding. Of these, we were able to award a total of $17,341.51 to 31 projects and events that will take place in Easthampton throughout 2025.

The volunteers on the ECC’s board work towards bringing funding into Easthampton to make quality cultural programming more accessible. Our programming is intended to benefit the Easthampton community, and further the diversity in Easthampton’s programming in the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences. 

We will be celebrating the grantees at a reception in April, where they will be invited to speak for a few minutes about their projects. We invite you to join us in celebrating these awardees now and in the future!

Stay tuned for more updates to come as projects start happening.
