Classes & Workshops
The Music and Arts Education Workshops and classes at the CEMA Foundation provides a thorough, comprehensive training ground for young people who believe they will pursue an artistic career. Cultivating critical thinking, art making, self-discovery, and technical development—all are objectives of our arts curriculum.
Academics
The nurturing instructors at CEMA Foundation promotes students’ mastery of their unique creative processes, opportunities to collaborate across disciplines, exposure to prominent cultural leaders and artists—as well as the solid academic foundation to enable younger participants to shape their own careers. Whether they decide to pursue college degrees or go directly for professional arts opportunities, our dedicated students grow through training and numerous opportunities to exhibit their artwork as well as to perform, publish, and document their experience.
Outreach
CEMA Foundation presents annual events to display the work and talent of all CEMA Foundation students, participants, supporters, sponsors, and registered artists. The presentation of these events are fundraising opportunities to help the students with the materials needed for the classes and workshops that they register to participate. In many cases, these materials are provided free to the students.
events
Keeping the arts accessible is a vital part of our mission, so CEMA Foundation sponsors a variety of programs each year that are free and open to the public. Annual events include CEMAFEST, 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 CEMA Foundation 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 Foundation to see school show performances.
