US-based organization Americans for the Arts has released The Arts + Social Impact Explorer, an online tool that draws together more than 1,000 data points on how the arts integrate into—and impact—26 different sectors ranging from education and innovation to health and wellness, immigration, faith, and environment.

The tool, which can be found here, takes the form of a colourful wheel that provides research, example projects, and core research papers, and offers printable PDF Fact Sheets. 

Americans for the Arts has created an 8-minute introductory video detailing the finer points of the tool, which can be found here.
