CEMA Foundation is a Community Organization

CEMA Foundation is a volunteer-led, mission-driven organization that has been created to serve the multi-cultural community in Maryland, Washington DC, Northern, Virginia, and beyond.  Our name defines who WE are and what we specialize in... Cultural Enrichment, Music, and Arts...CEMA. Our educational program offers a number of classes for all arts, all people, all ages. We believe that music is the best form of communication in the world, and our MUSIC programs provide musical training to all ages on every level. Our ART programs teach men, women, young adults and children how to embrace their own beauty and nourish their love for art. We offer ALL of our services to everyone.  Programs and activities at CEMA are designed to:

  • Promote educational, cultural, recreational and other charitable activities, for the benefit of the local residents in all the communities that we serve.

  • Enhance and strengthen the cultural, educational, charitable, civic and community infrastructure.  

  • Promote the cultural arts through music, drama, fine arts, entertainment, sports, recreation and other charitable activities through education and training.

  • Develop and promote the annual Cultural Enrichment, Music, and Arts Festival and Conference aka CEMAFEST as a community event for the benefit of everyone.

  • Pursue public and private grants, donations and contributions, to be recognized by state and local taxing authorities as a tax-exempt organization and to be able to partner with other nonprofit organizations for the benefit of the community at large.

 

Our programs are a tremendous asset to any community. We provide services to all people, all arts, all ages. A lot of our community events are FREE and open to the general public. We have activities for everyone! Men, women, Seniors, children and good ole fashioned family fun! At our festivals, we want everyone in the community to experience the pulchritude of music and the arts first hand while raising awareness about CEMA and signing up new participants.

All CEMA programming supports the institutional mission: Our annual Cultural Enrichment, Music, and Arts Festival “CEMAFEST”, as well as a vibrant Internship program. CEMA also offers special programming and events with community partners throughout the year.

CEMA Foundation supports the growth and cultural enrichment of the  community through community partnerships that promote music, drama, fine arts, entertainment, sports, recreation and other activities.
