GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Community Access to the Arts, a nonprofit that provides arts programs to more than 500 people with disabilities in Berkshire County, has received a number of grant awards from local and national foundations.
Berkshire Gas will be a major sponsor of CATA’s annual performance in May at Founders' Theatre in Lenox. This event is attended by more than 600 people and represents the culmination of hundreds of performing arts workshops held throughout the year in CATA's studio on Railroad Street and in settings throughout the county.
Greylock Federal Credit Union and the Dr. Robert C. and Tina Sohn Foundation sponsored the creation of "Yogabilities," an instructional yoga DVD made by Paula Boyajian for people with disabilities. The Sohn Foundation is generously underwriting CATA's annual art show & poetry reading as well.
CVS Caremark awarded a community grant for CATA's school programs while the John A. Sellon Charitable Residual Trust and The Green Foundation made gifts for general operating support, a valuable source of income that gives nonprofit organizations the flexibility to innovate and direct spending where needed.
