CATA’s Annual Art Show I Am a Part of Art features nearly 300 paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, and more by artists with disabilities from across Berkshire County, MA and Columbia County, NY. This vibrant exhibit is on display at two locations: the Clark Art Institute’s Lunder Center at Stone Hill in Williamstown, MA and the Lichtenstein Center for the Arts in Pittsfield, MA.
I Am a Part of Art is the culmination of hundreds of CATA visual arts workshops serving teens, adults, and elders with disabilities. Through these year-round workshops, CATA artists grow creatively, learn new techniques, and find community working side by side.
