“Back & Forth”
A Community Access to the Arts Virtual Art show
Welcome to cata’s virtual art show “Back & Forth”!
This multimedia exhibit features 15 paintings by 15 CATA artists—each created through CATA workshops using an adaptive method called Artistic Realization Technologies (A.R.T.). Through the use of a laser pointer and close collaboration with a trained assistant who acts as the artist’s hands, this technique gives full artistic control to individuals with significant physical disabilities—and expands the range of possibilities for artists of all abilities. Some CATA artists working in this technique are non-verbal, or verbal language is not their primary mode of communication. In these cases, painting can provide a particularly meaningful mode of communication.
HOW TO TOUR THE EXHIBIT: Simply select a painting from the gallery below or click “Tour the Exhibit” to start at the beginning. Each page includes bonus videos, photos, and more, to take you behind the scenes and give you a closer look at the artists and their work.
And don’t forget! Each painting is available for sale! Buy a piece of CATA art and support CATA artists. Every work sold provides a commission to the artist and supports year-round CATA programs for people with disabilities.
