The Data
Our goal is to help ensure that every student, in every grade, in every school has access to quality arts programming. artlook® helps make that happen by putting an unprecedented collection of information in the hands of teachers, principals, arts agencies, cultural institutions, foundations, corporations, and policymakers.
-
School Portal
Schools update their profiles with information on arts staffing, courses and minutes of instruction, in-school and out-of-school arts programming offered, and partnerships with outside arts organizations. Schools are also able to share with their local arts education community exactly what kind of arts education experiences their students crave.
-
Partner Portal
Partner profiles provide an opportunity for community organizations that support arts education to share their accomplishments--and to be found by others so they can build on those accomplishments. By maintaining a profile that accurately describes their organization, its school partnerships, and the arts education programs they offer, arts partners can expand their reach.
artlook is Growing
Since it was launched in 2013, artlook® has served as a springboard to exponential increases in students’ arts access in Chicago Public Schools. In 2019, Ingenuity partnered with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts’ "Ensuring the Arts for Any Given Child" program and local organizations like Arts Education in Maryland Schools (AEMS) to expand artlook® to six new communities: Maryland; Houston, TX; Jacksonville, FL; New Orleans, LA; Portland, OR; and Sacramento, CA.
