About CATA’s Annual Art Show:
I Am a Part of Art features more than 250 paintings and drawings 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.
Artwork is available for sale: Purchase CATA artwork and support CATA artists. Every sale supports commissions for the individual artists. To purchase artwork, contact Kara Smith at Kara@CATAarts.org.
“I Am a Part of Art” is sponsored by Lead Underwriters
