Arts Inequity is Education Inequity

Numerous studies indicate the arts’ positive impact on student achievement, motivation, expression of ideas, and critical-thinking skills. But in Chicago Public Schools, one-third of students do not have reliable or consistent access to arts education. These students are disproportionately black and low-income.

With your support, Ingenuity will work to ensure that every student, in every grade, in every CPS school has access to the arts as part of a well-rounded education. Please join us by making a tax-deductible gift to Ingenuity today.
