Ingenuity@10: Igniting Equity in Arts Education

Celebrating 10 years of INgenuity

 

Our virtual 10th anniversary event, Ingenuity@10: Igniting Equity in Arts Education, celebrates 10 years of arts education progress in Chicago Public Schools!

Lightfoot, CPS Chief Executive Officer Dr. Janice Jackson, and other special guests discuss the power and importance of arts education in our public schools.
