You're Invited to CATA's Groundbreaking Event Today (LISTEN)

Earlier this morning, we sat down with CATA's (Community Access to the Arts) Executive Director, Margaret Keller along with CATA's Communications Coordinator, Chris Watford. The duo discussed how after 26 years of renting space, CATA will have a permanent home at the Jennifer House Commons on Stockbridge Road in Great Barrington.

Keller and Watford mentioned that this has been a two year process and they are so thrilled to see their permanent home come to fruition which will occur later on this year. They stated as CATA programs expanded along with more students joining the organization, CATA knew that they had to physically expand. As Keller put it "CATA was bursting at the seams."
