COMMUNITY ACCESS TO THE ARTS
I Am a Part of Art features 300 paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures, and more by artists with disabilities from across Berkshire County, MA and Columbia County, NY. In their works, created in Community Access to the Arts’ year-round programs, CATA artists express their unique perspectives and draw us into their world, revealing the power of art to nurture inclusion and connection.
You can explore this vibrant exhibit at two locations: the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, MA (June 13 – October 12), and the Lichtenstein Center for the Arts in Pittsfield, MA (July 8 – August 28).
