Combatting arts education inequality at the local, state, and federal levels

Ingenuity collaborates with stakeholders across Chicago’s arts education sector to ensure all 330,000 CPS students have access to high-quality arts education. From District officials to smaller-capacity arts organizations to CPS students, Ingenuity works to strengthen our coalition of arts advocates to gain the support and traction needed to advance District- and state-wide arts education policies for CPS students.
