CATA to Host Annual Art Show on July 13
PITTSFIELD, MA—Community Access to the Arts (CATA) will host a free celebration for I Am a Part of Art, CATA’s Annual Art Show, on Wednesday, July 13, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Lichtenstein Center for the Arts.
Attendees will see paintings, drawings, and sculptures created by local artists with disabilities and have an opportunity to meet the artists in person. Refreshments will be provided and masks are highly recommended.
“Our Annual Art Show celebration is a fun and inclusive event for art lovers of all ages,” says Margaret Keller, CATA Executive Director. “Teens and adults with disabilities from across our community have created stunning artwork for this exhibit, sharing their perspectives and artistic voices. We hope you will come to enjoy their work—and meet the artists in person! All works are available for sale, and every sale provides a commission to the individual artists. You are sure to find a piece to fall in love with!”
CATA’s Annual Art Show, I Am a Part of Art, takes place in partnership with the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, MA, and the Lichtenstein Center for the Arts in Pittsfield, MA. Each work is professionally matted, framed, and available for sale, with proceeds benefiting CATA programs as well as individual artists.
This annual exhibition is the culmination of hundreds of visual arts workshops that CATA holds throughout the year for teens, adults, and elders with disabilities across Berkshire County, Massachusetts and Columbia County, New York. The curated exhibit features a wide range of styles, including abstract and representational paintings, drawings, collage, sculpture, and printmaking.
I Am a Part of Art is sponsored by Berkshire Life Charitable Foundation, October Mountain Financial Advisors, Berkshire Magazine, Frames on Wheels, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, and other generous supporters.
CATA’s exhibit at the Lichtenstein Center for the Arts runs from July 1-July 28, 2022. The gallery, located at 28 Renne Avenue in Pittsfield’s Upstreet Cultural District, is open Wednesday through Friday from 11-3 and by appointment. Admission is free.
