The Foundation has initiated a community-wide effort to reinvigorate arts education for Philadelphia’s children and youth. A great deal more information about the initiative is available online through the Foundation’s project partner, the OMG Center for Collaborative Learning. The following is a digest of research demonstrating the positive effects of arts education on young people. This bibliography is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather, a snapshot of key studies that have influenced the Foundation’s point of view and approach.
