Berkshire Botanical Garden and Community Access to the Arts (CATA) present “Close Up and Far Away,” an exhibition of nature-inspired paintings and drawings by artists with disabilities. The exhibit ranges widely in stylistic expression and scale of size and features botanical studies, landscapes, wildlife portraits, and abstract paintings.
Each work in the exhibit was created through Community Access to the Arts’ year-round workshops serving teens, adults, and elders with disabilities. Many of the works were created on-site at Berkshire Botanical Garden as part of an ongoing partnership between CATA and BBG—while others were created by CATA artists at day programs and residences serving people with disabilities across the Berkshires.
