"Ingenuity Incorporated

We all want our children to get the best education possible. But today learning to read, write and work with numbers is no longer enough.

Today, children must also become innovative thinkers and creative problem solvers who are able to express themselves and understand others. Research has revealed what we instinctively know—that when reading, writing, and math are coupled with the arts, schools are more likely to produce children who have the skills needed to achieve success in both work and life.

Ingenuity Incorporated works to ensure all Chicago Public Schools students, from the day they start until the day they graduate, will receive quality arts education at every grade level.

Ingenuity is a leading source of information and research on arts education, and a tireless advocate for the arts in education. Foremost, Ingenuity Incorporated supports the Chicago Public Schools and their teachers, arts institutions and cultural organizations, teaching artists, and others who recognize the educational value of bringing the arts to each child, in every school, every day.
