Into the Future
CAT’s Next Chapter
The History
As a part of Regional Arts Commission for almost 30 years, more than 350 social workers, educators, community activists, and artists of all disciplines completed the Community Arts Training program.
The CAT Institute is the oldest sustained training program of its kind in the country.
The Present
The Community Arts Training Institute embarks on a transformative journey—a departure from being a legacy program of the Regional Arts Commission to become an independent organization.
The Future
This strategic move signals a new chapter for CAT, one which will allow CAT to expand its programmatic boundaries and build a distinct identity that reflects a growing recognition that sustained progress in community power-building practices require an independent infrastructure, rooted in grassroots engagement and civic advocacy.
