We will soon be replacing our old and damaged screens in Theaters One and Two.

Our screens in theaters one and two are decades old, worn, dull, and damaged.  In addition, due to an issue at the time they were installed, there is insufficient soundproofing between Theaters One and Two, and reduced sound quality in Theater One.  NEW SCREENS will be bigger and brighter, and soundproofing and sound issues can be greatly improved during the installation process.  If you would like to make a gift specifically in support of this project, please click below and follow the prompts.  Or you can give at the Box Office or call (631) 423-7610, ext. 18 or 11 M-F during business hours.

*Be sure to include the note “restricted for screen replacement” when prompted.

THANK YOU!

Our programs have a broad impact.

Since 1973, we have leveraged the power of film to help create social good, community dialogue, civic participation, and uncompromising artistic value.  Like the power of film itself, which is greater than the sum of its parts, the power of the CAC is  boundary-breaking.  Programs lift the voices of under-represented  groups, of vital community organizations, and other not-for-profit organizations, impacting a variety of causes and issues, and allowing us to share resources, create mutual benefits and work toward a better Long Island.

Your contributions fund the programs you love!

Our independent audits consistently show that we spend about 80% of our revenue on program expenses.  Every bit of our budget is important and helps us deliver our mission.  Thank you for your trust in us to bring you independent film programs and cultural events of uncompromising quality.

“The idea of expression and communication and understanding other cultures, those are all the values that make good, kind people. And I think that’s all we can hope to engender in this world.” – Alan Cumming

Making a fully tax-deductible gift (above and beyond membership support) is critical to our operational budget!

The Cinema Arts Centre earns an average of $7 per attendee annually, yet our annual expenses average $17 per attendee. That means we need to raise an extra $10 for everyone who comes to a CAC program.  Your fully tax-deductible gift (in addition to your membership support) makes you part of the movement that helps us deliver our mission, to bring the best in cinematic artistry to our community,  year after year.
