CATA, Lenox Library Presents 'Truth, Forest, Mouse'
 |
LENOX, Mass. Community Access to the Arts (CATA) and the Lenox Library present "truth, forest, mouse," a reading celebrating the work of writers with disabilities on Feb. 15 at 5 pm.
A free reception will follow the reading where attendees can meet and celebrate CATA writers and artists.
The event occurs at the Lenox Library, 18 Main Street. Reservations are required for this free event. Register online at CATAarts.org/reading2023 or by contacting CATA at (413) 528-5485 or by email at KateHarding@CATAarts.org.
The event will feature guest readers and their writing created in the CATA Writers' Workshop—a weekly class where writers with disabilities hone their craft and express their perspectives.
In conjunction with the reading, an exhibit of paintings, drawings, and collages by CATA artists with disabilities will be on display in the library's Welles Gallery through March 15, 2023. All works in the exhibit are professionally matted, framed, and available for sale, with proceeds supporting commissions for the individual artists.
"We're thrilled to partner with the Lenox Library to share the powerful work of CATA writers," said CATA Executive Director Margaret Keller. "CATA writers tap into their individual style and express their creative voices each week in our workshops. By sharing their work in this dynamic program, we get to spotlight their talent –and our community gets the chance to see the world from their perspective."
CATA's reading and exhibit at the Lenox Library is made possible by Canyon Ranch, Frames on Wheels, Massachusetts Cultural Council, and other generous supporters.
