IssueLab has published a bonanza of arts-education case studies in its online bimonthly publication CloseUp. The collection "reveals the lessons, benefits, and pitfalls of existing and past projects, providing vital information for program staff at organizations running their own Arts Education projects." There are 67 files online, divided into subcategories: case studies, community programs, evaluation, in-school programs and students with disabilities. Contributors include Americans for the Arts, the Arts Education Partnership, CAPE, Arts for All, Hospital Audiences and many more. IssueLab is an interactive, Chicago-based online publishing forum for nonprofit research, aggregating research on social issues and pushing that research back out to other online communities and end-users. Their goal is to "mainstream nonprofit research so that users who may not know anything about nonprofits can still learn from the unique perspective these organizations bring to the study of social issues."
