We're making a Difference Community Arts of Elmira, Inc. is an all-volunteer organization offering educational classes, workshops, seminars, events and programs that encourage creativity in all people. Community Arts provides a venue for individuals who would not otherwise have an opportunity to teach, display, perform, study and develop their talent.

To provide performance and exhibition space to new and established artists, to offer educational programs and activities and to create public awareness by encouraging participation in and appreciation for all of the arts.

Organized in the summer of 2005 by Cynthia Hill, Sharon Mitchell, Dorothy Poppleton, Cynthia Raj, Lynne Rusinko, Rita Rhodes-Kapron and Brent Stermer, Community Arts functioned under the fiscal sponsorship of Cornell Cooperative Extension.
