The Mabel Louise Riley Foundation has awarded CitySpace $100,000 in support of the restoration of Old Town Hall into a center of the arts for the city of Easthampton and Western Massachusetts.

Beginning with Old Town Hall’s first floor, CitySpace embarked on an effort to create affordable space for arts organizations and creative businesses under one roof in Easthampton’s Main Street Historic District. The generous grant of $100,000 from the Mabel Louise Riley Foundation will go towards restoring the unused second-floor 3500 square-foot hall into a flexible, accessible 350-seat performing arts and community space for performances, concerts, and community events. Renovations also will include a new box office, elevator, entryway, theatrical lighting, and sound and projection systems.

To date, more than $4 million in grants and contributions have been received for the $6.9 million project. With funding for the construction kickoff established by the end of 2022, CitySpace plans to begin renovations at the beginning of 2023. CitySpace seeks further support for the project and has naming opportunities available.
