CINEMA is proud to announce its continued partnership with the Cleveland Institute of Art. They are very excited to be a part of what we are striving for, and we are equally excited to form a partnership with such an established and well-respected organization.

CIA will serve as our Fiscal Agent while we await the approval of our own 501(c)(3). With this partnership CINEMA is awarded all the rights and benefits of a fully functional non-profit organization, including tax exemption and the solicitation of grants and donations.  We are able to offer all donors tax-deductible donations, making it much easier to raise funds for the artists of Cleveland.
