A creative community deserves a platform to match

Easthampton City Arts (ECA) is a cultural initiative of the City of Easthampton, Massachusetts, dedicated to promoting arts, culture, and community engagement. Since 2005, ECA has supported local artists and energized the region through public programming, festivals, and exhibitions. We partnered with ECA to build a modern, accessible WordPress website that showcases their programs, connects the community, and supports their mission of inclusive cultural development.

Designed for community engagement—and creative growth

ECA plays a vital role in shaping the cultural identity of Easthampton. From public art to poetry festivals, their programs bring people together through shared creative experiences. Their website needed to reflect that same vibrancy and accessibility.

Challenge

The previous ECA website was outdated and non-responsive, limiting access for mobile users and making content updates difficult for staff. It couldn’t keep up with the breadth of ECA’s offerings—from Art Walk and Cultural Chaos to gallery exhibitions and artist grants. They needed a digital platform that was inclusive, flexible, and representative of their work.

Solution

We built a fully responsive WordPress site that makes it easy to explore, participate in, and promote arts and culture in Easthampton.

  • Program Showcase: Detailed listings for ongoing initiatives like Art Walk, Public Art, Youth Arts, Poetry Month, and Cultural Chaos
  • Integrated Event Calendar: Keeps residents and visitors informed about upcoming events and exhibitions
  • Gallery Highlights: Featured sections for ECA Gallery and Payson Gallery, with rotating show info and artist features
  • Artist Resource Hub: Tools and opportunities for local creatives, including open calls and proposal submissions
  • Dynamic News Section: Enables staff to share timely updates, opportunities, and community announcements

Results

The new site puts Easthampton’s creative energy front and center—while making it easier to manage behind the scenes.

  • Improved Accessibility: Fully responsive across all devices, with intuitive navigation for users of all backgrounds
  • Stronger Community Ties: Visitors can easily discover events, connect with programs, and engage with local artists
  • Simplified Updates: Staff can quickly publish new content, ensuring up-to-date info on grants, exhibits, and public art opportunities
  • Support for Local Creatives: The platform now serves as a digital springboard for emerging and established artists alike

Rooted in Easthampton. Designed for artists, residents, and visitors alike.

Easthampton City Arts supports a thriving creative ecosystem across the city. Their new site reflects that mission—celebrating local culture, encouraging public engagement, and helping artists and audiences find each other more easily.
