Linda BatchelorEasthampton City Arts is pleased to present the second edition

of the Directory of Easthampton artists, arts-related businesses and

organizations. This Directory, along with the companion web site,

www.easthamptoncityarts.com, provides a dynamic and

comprehensive platform for you to find the artists,

businesses, galleries and events that interest you.

Please note the “+“ after our name at the top of this

page. In 2010 the artists and arts related businesses of Southampton and

Westhampton were invited to join Easthampton City Arts (ECA). And, in

2011 the Easthampton Cultural Council and ArtWalk Easthampton will

merge with ECA. These significant developments are reflected in the

new name Easthampton City Arts+ or ECA+. Working together will bring

additional people and resources to the shared goals of enhancing eco-

nomic opportunities for artists and cultural establishments, encouraging

collaborative relationships between artists and the business community

and creating a strong cultural identity for the City of Easthampton.

Since first established in 2005, ECA has accomplished a great deal, from

growing to over 170 members, to the successful Bear Fest in 2009. We are

excited to continue our endeavors, enhancing opportunities for

local artists, showcasing their work and providing the public the

opportunity to discover emerging and established artists.

We hope you will enjoy using this directory to discover new

artists and businesses, explore their websites and take the

opportunity to visit their studios and shops.

Thank you,

Easthampton City Arts Coordinating Committee
