ArtsSmarts is a learning organization that uses a model of distributed leadership to bring together the efforts of our 17 partners across Canada.

Our learning community operates as two distinct, yet interconnected, networks: one takes a local focus and the other national.   

Through our learning communities, ArtsSmarts examines practice and undertakes research with a focus on generating new knowledge on creativity, innovation and its impact on learning.

We continually test ideas to demonstrate that shifting the conventional approach to teaching and learning results in improved student engagement, more robust school-community relationships and a stronger society.
