State of the Arts Reports

Ingenuity’s annual State of the Arts Report details the level of arts-related instruction, staffing, partnerships, and funding in Chicago Public Schools (CPS). The data for these reports come from CPS administrative sources, directly from schools, including charter and options schools, via the Creative Schools Survey, and directly from community arts organizations that support CPS students. The State of the Arts Report represents the most comprehensive overview of the CPS arts education landscape in District history.
