In celebration of 10 years, Ingenuity will host its inaugural Ingenuity@10: Igniting Equity in Arts Education event in a special virtual program recognizing the organization’s important work over the last decade. Support from this event will advance Ingenuity’s mission of ensuring that every student, in every grade, in every school has access to the arts as part of a well-rounded education throughout Chicago Public Schools (CPS). Following a challenging year, arts education is helping our city’s children and youth reconnect with their peers, teachers and communities, and collectively heal. Join us in making sure that even more CPS students experience and benefit from the arts in their lives.

About Ingenuity
Ingenuity was founded in 2011 to increase arts education access, quality and equity in Chicago Public Schools (CPS) in direct response to decades of arts divestment. For 10 years, Ingenuity has helped drive unprecedented progress by advocating for strong policies and investing directly in CPS schools to bolster arts education and programming for the benefit of our youth. Using data as a springboard, Ingenuity creates and designs learning programs and services to help community arts partners and teachers more effectively and equitably align their unique arts education pedagogy, practices, and programs with CPS District priorities to propel high-quality work in schools. Today, nearly 60% of CPS schools now offer robust arts education programs – a 97% increase in just ten years. Ingenuity’s work to transform arts education and strengthen partnerships between schools and organizations has led to 75,000 more CPS students now advancing from the arts in their lives.
