t David Gardner (BCArc) creates vibrant paintings through CATA’s A.R.T. workshops.
I’m proud of my accomplishments.” Cathy’s work has been privately commissioned and displayed at the Norman Rockwell Museum, Berkshire Museum and Clark Art Institute. Last fall, she was awarded a prestigious Governor’s citation for a painting exhibited at the Massachusetts State House in Boston. Because of your support, our community is able to experience the talents of these artists whose abilities might have otherwise remained hidden. For CATA artists like Carol Neuhaus, the impact has been profound. “CATA has given me my art,” she says. “I never knew I had this in me.” p Katrina Couture (BFAIR) poses with her artwork at the Clark Art Institute.
As a program requiring one-on-one support, A.R.T. is one of CATA’s most expensive to deliver. We rely on generous contributions from our supporters to sustain this work. It’s because of your generosity that artists like Katrina, Cathy, David, and Carol are able to express their creative talents.
