Lichtenstein Center for the Arts presents CATA’s "I AM A PART OF ART"

The Lichtenstein Center for the Arts, 28 Renne Avenue, will present CATA’s "I AM A PART OF ART" through August 20. The exhibit will be on view during the First Fridays Artswalk on August 2 from 5 to 8 pm.

I AM A PART OF ART, Community Access to the Arts’ Annual Art Show, features more than 150 paintings and drawings by artists with disabilities from across Berkshire County, MA and Columbia County, NY. 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. Through these workshops, CATA artists grow creatively, learn new techniques, and build community. Works in the exhibit are professionally matted and framed, and available for sale, with proceeds providing commissions to the individual artists. The curated exhibit features a wide range of styles, including abstract and representational paintings, drawings, photographs, collage, sculpture, and printmaking, as well as comics, illustration, and stop-motion animation.
