ArtsSmarts is a dynamic approach to generating and sustaining innovative school partnerships centred around the arts. We use creative inquiry to improve student engagement and cultivate 21st learning skills that push the boundaries of learning, redefine the environment of schooling and re-imagine student success.

At ArtsSmarts, we:
• Support the collaboration of artist-teacher teams to generate creative solutions that engage kids in their learning
• Develop 21st century learning skills that enable kids to think creatively, understand deeply, take control of learning, work collaboratively and reflect
• Connect people, ideas and actions through cross-sector networks that include arts organizations, school boards, corporations, Ministries of Education, Ministries of Culture, universities and provincial arts councils
• Advance new knowledge on creativity, innovation and its impact on learning through practice, research, publications and learning events
