Why We Do It
At Art Possible Ohio we root our work in experience and research. We know from rigorous evaluation that inclusivity, accessibility, and the arts have a tremendous positive impact on our community. This page features some of our greatest hits including research reports, resource guides, and publications to help you better understand our work and advocate for more inclusive, accessible arts experiences in your community.
Measuring Impact in Classrooms
In 2014-2015, Art Possible engaged Measurement Resources Company to begin a 3-year assessment of Adaptation, Integration, and the Arts to better understand its impact on students, teachers and schools. Results indicate Adaptation, Integration and the Arts makes a positive difference in the academic and social achievement of students, the readiness of teachers to meet the needs of diverse learners, and engages whole schools and communities.
