Congratulations to our 2024 grantees!
The Easthampton Cultural Council, a local cultural council of the Massachusetts Cultural Council, is pleased to announce the recipients of this year’s granting cycle.
We are a volunteer board working 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 March, 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.
