At ArtsSmarts we generate and sustain innovative school partnerships centred around the arts to push the boundaries of learning, redefine the environment of schooling and re-imagine student success.  

Last year, more than 22,672 students in 286 schools experienced ArtsSmarts.

This was the result of the efforts of our 16 partnerships who brought 370 artists and 1,164 teachers together to collaborate on the development of 282 ArtsSmarts projects in the schools across the country.

Our unique teaching and learning approach is brought to schools through the provincial, regional or local partnerships we cultivate.  Some partners are from small rural communities and others from large urban centres. Some are locally focussed, while others are provincial.

Our partners use our model as a starting point to tailor ArtsSmarts according to their local needs, resources, vision for creative learning and educational outcomes for students, by increasing student engagement and developing 21st Century learning skills.
