Artists:

"With breathtaking features like the hundreds of solar panels on the roof, and conscientious details like glue-free, recycled tiles, eTown Hall allows many kinds of artistic work to integrate under one roof. eTown Hall strikes me as a mini musical mecca."
-Mike Gordon (Phish)

"It was great to be around people that are conscious about social issues and community, and the sort of stuff that is not always present in music."
-Bridget Kearney (Lake Street Dive)

It's always important to have landmarks for culture, and places that can be gathering centers for creativity, music and the arts. That's the vision of eTown.
-Todd Park Mohr (Big Head Todd and the Monsters)

eChievement Winners:

"After the eTown broadcast several people, including schools and local businesses, contacted me about donations or volunteering. I was most excited about being able to spread the word about how important it is to take care of our rivers as well as our environment and community. "
-19 year-old eChievement Award Winner Andrew Kersting, Grassroots Rogue River Clean-up Project, MI

"We received several key donations and saw an increase in web traffic resulting from the eTown broadcast. Then, when the show was re-broadcast, the donations again started to flow in, many times over what we got last year. Lots of people now will get their own wheelchair and a chance for a better life! God Bless."
-eChievement Award Winner Don Schoendorfer, Free Wheelchair Mission, Costa Mesa, CA

"We received multiple donations and heard from tons of people outside of Colorado who were specifically interested in starting a community kitchen like SAME in their areas because they heard us on eTown. We also had offers to volunteer-this is all great for us!"
-eChievement Award winners Libby and Brad Birkey, SAME café, Denver, CO

"I am in absolute appreciation of the experience with eTown… Thanks to what you choose to do - our world is a better place!" - eChievement Award Winner Della Rae, Lake Oswego, OR
