About the Community Education Center

Housed in a historic former Quaker Friends School, the Community Education Center (CEC) has been a cornerstone of the University City, Powelton Village neighborhood in West Philadelphia since its incorporation in 1973. Founded by local community members, the CEC promotes shared experiences and nurtures fellowship among diverse neighborhoods, bridging cultural and economic differences through the performing arts.

Recognized as a professional arts organization and an "artist incubator," the CEC is dedicated to supporting developing artists and connecting them with the community. It serves as a vibrant venue for cutting-edge dance and performance, as well as a hub for the study of various movement forms. The CEC is well-respected by artists, audiences, and the media, making it one of the most accessible performance spaces in Philadelphia.
