7 Art Education Statistics that Prove the Arts Impact Academic Success

About these 7 Art Education Statistics

We believe that art has the power to change lives. Art can inspire, change perspectives, and convey emotion in a powerful way. Unfortunately, these intangible impacts can be challenging to showcase in a large-scale way. How can you measure inspiration or changes in perspective? Ordinarily, these and other effects of art must be experienced either firsthand or through storytelling. In other words, it’s difficult to use art education statistics to show the personal affect art can have in an individual’s life.

There are, however, many ways art education can measurably change lives. Countless studies quantify the academic impacts art can have on a student. This infographic shares some of the most compelling findings from these studies.

Subsequently with this measurable evidence, we can say with confidence that providing K-12 students with the resources needed to explore different art forms positively impacts academic success.

At Genesis Inspiration Foundation we believe that youth art programs are a key resource needed to continue improving our future for students and individuals from all backgrounds.
