This focused study on artists contains two major goals. The first is to examine the relationships between artistic creativity and other domains of creativity, including creativity in entrepreneurship, social interactions, and civic or community engagement. Exploring the interactions and correlations between creative domains will help the Research Lab become familiar with artists’ problem-finding and solving processes, a critical skill with many potential implementations. The second purpose is to examine the relationship between possession of creativity in various domains and translation of that creativity into actionable business practice.

Selected Findings from a Longitudinal Study of Partnering Arts, Communities, & Education
The Partnering Arts, Communities, & Education (PACE) program was established by the Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) in 2014 for the purpose of establishing long-term, in-depth, and sustainable partnerships between elementary schools with high poverty/low performing populations and arts organizations to impact student growth and achievement through extended arts and literacy experiences. PACE arts experiences occur as part of the academic day, at frequent and regular intervals throughout the entire school year, and align with the school’s planned academic curriculum. Arts educators and teaching artists collaborated to plan and provide instruction in the arts and to conduct ongoing assessments of student learning in the arts.

The survey of stakeholders, 50% of which were artists, found that many people hold multiple roles in the folk music community. When asked if they valued inclusivity and diversity, respondents overwhelmingly acknowledged their value, but many indicated there was room for improvement within the community.
