“Arts impact's innovative arts-integrated programs respond to educational trends and meet the needs of students, teachers, and the community of greater cleveland. The organization has served over 45,000 students during the past 23 years. Our mission is to bring learning to life through art. Our primary purpose is to use the arts to help children learn, create, imagine, dream, explore, grow and succeed. Arts impact has become an important school partner for the cleveland metropolitan school district (cmsd), in particular, by providing multi- session arts integration residencies that impact achievement and increase student engagement. First graders build bird gliders while studying life science. Second graders create digital stop-motion animations on ipads while studying the weather and atmosphere. This creative, hands-on learning helps the curriculum "stick." in 2023, arts impact piloted a new, intensive delivery model on a small scale and in 2024 the program expanded to seven classrooms in two schools. Program evaluation showed students were engaged and found joy in the learning process supported by art, students learned and remembered content from the lessons, and students and teachers were highly satisfied with the program. Since 2019, arts impact has offered series of arts-based programs for middle school and high school students, to explicitly address social and emotional learning (sel). Each workshop includes introduction of an sel competency, discussion, activities, and an art project to deepen the learning of that competency. Arts enrichment programs take place in schools and community organizations during out-of-school time. These workshops and camps are arts-based and not tied to other aspects of the curriculum as the steam and sel offerings are. Professional artists guide students to paint murals, design logos, sculpt, dance, and more. Arts impact artist-educators also lead local educators through professional development opportunities to build skills in arts integration.”
