GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass - Community Access to the Arts (CATA) has announced plans for a holiday sale on Sunday, December 7th in their gallery at 70 Railroad Street in Great Barrington.
CATA produces handcrafted jewelry, accessories and note cards in its creative employment program called CATAdirect. Employees with disabilities collaborate with community volunteers to create unique gift items out of mostly recycled materials. Products for this holiday season include necklaces and bracelets crafted of donated buttons, scarves woven from recycled cashmere sweaters, and a variety of holiday cards.
Proceeds from the sale of CATA products fund the organization's employment program. Additionally, each artist with a disability receives a design fee if his or her artwork is used to produce a printed card.
