School Partnerships

Through collaboration with teachers and administrators, Arts Impact offers intensive arts-integrated residencies, in-school workshops, after-school programs, and engaging family events.

Arts Integration
Residencies

Multi-session, hands-on, project-based learning experiences help students learn in and through the arts while gaining a deeper understanding of non-arts objectives. Projects are customized to suit teachers’ needs related to their curriculum and the art forms they wish to explore. Spring 2021 partners included Hannah Gibbons STEM School, Mound STEM School, Orchard STEM School, Paul L. Dunbar School, and Warrensville Heights Elementary and Middle Schools.

Out-of-School Time Programs and In-School Workshops

We design arts enrichment programs and workshops based on students' ages/developmental levels and each school's needs. Our out-of-school time programming in schools has expanded significantly the past few years through our work with Say Yes to Education, CMSD's Summer Learning Experience, and now CMSD's Encore Expansion.

Family Engagement

We introduce new ideas and new thinking. We connect art, culture, and technology in ways that make roadblocks to learning disappear. We love bringing this work to our students’ families, too.

Arts Impact can facilitate workshops and/or offer family nights. These are community building events that allow students and families to extend the learning from the school day, share residency projects, and engage in hands-on activities.

Art Installations

Many partner schools elect to beautify their buildings with an art installation. Select residency projects can be displayed in a public area for students, parents, and community members to enjoy.

Professional Development

Arts Impact offers professional development opportunities for educators in conjunction with residencies and through professional development workshops. Our workshops introduce teachers to arts integration and help them to incorporate the arts into their own work.
