CEMA Center is a venue for discovery and inspiration for expression. We offer comprehensive arts education programs
that are taught by the best volunteer teaching artists that are available.
CEMA Center is a place for Artists to gather, experiment and grow. We offer a wide variety of programs for different mediums, skill levels and ages. Taking a workshop at CEMA Center is an investment in yourself and your community. Through our education agenda we are able to support professional local artists and serve our community with diverse and affordable programming. Your workshop fees also supports our Residency Program, enabling low income families in our area to enroll their children in fulfilling arts programs.
Our program catalog is continually evolving to provide new experiences along with student favorites and CEMA Center traditions. To support our vision of enriching all with inspiring art experiences, the locations we select, both in-person and virtually, offer something for every participant.

CEMA Center presents annual events to display the work and talent of all CEMA Center
participants, supporters, sponsors, and residency artists. The presentation of our community events are fundraising opportunities to help the organization with the materials needed for the workshops that
we offer. In many cases, these materials are provided free to the participants.

Keeping the arts accessible is a vital part of our mission, so CEMA
sponsors a variety of programs each year that are free and open to the public. Annual events include ORANGEFEST, art gallery talks, music lectures, exhibitions and tours, drawing thousands of community visitors. Our partnerships with other Arts Organizations brings thousands of local residents to our community events for free performances by performing artists from around the world. Through our Outreach Program, we also ensure performances for school children by encouraging class trips to CEMA Events to see show performances.
VOLUNTEERS
INSTRUCTORS
The CEMA Volunteer Program aims to provide talented individuals with the hands-on experience they need to be successful in the community service business. It is a stepping stone into a multitude of careers on the business end of the non profit sector as well as the entertainment industry.
TECH INTERNS
Among the purposes of CEMA is to provide an outlet for the creative skills and energies of the community. To this end, we encourage members of the community to submit programming proposals to CEMA Studios. Proposals should be no more than a page long and should include information about the prospective on-air host, including any relevant on-air experience, as well as information about the prospective show. Successful proposals will be detailed, to the point and will keep CEMA's mission statement in mind.
FUNDRAISERS
More than 80% of CEMA's funds comes from our community events, membership drives, sponsors, and promotional drives. They are intrinsic to the success of the organization. Volunteers answer phones and record incoming donations. Shifts are generally four hours and are available weekdays and weekends, 6am-10pm. Groups are also welcome, and groups of 4 or more will be recognized when we do our live podcasts and live feeds via social media!
BRAND AMBASSADORS
Help get the word out about CEMA! Ambassadors spread news about CEMA at CEMA sponsored community events throughout the country. This is a great opportunity for those of our supporters who would like to volunteer, but do not live near the CEMA Center, or are only free on evenings and weekends.
