The Office of VSA and Accessibility at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts presents the 2016 Leadership Exchange in Arts and Disability (LEAD) Conference livestreaming select sessions on the global, commons-based peer produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv on Wednesday, August 3 and Saturday, August 6 from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In its 16th year, LEAD is an international network of arts professionals focused on making the cultural arts accessible to people with disabilities of all ages.  

Follow @AccessLEAD, @HowlRoundTV, and share your thoughts using #KCLEAD and #howlround. 

This multidisciplinary workshop (theatre, visual art, and dance) will address both the artistic and practical concerns of small-, mid-, and mega-sized arts organizations incorporating artists with disabilities in their work and share skills to work effectively with artists with disabilities.

Christine Bruno and David Harrell of the Inclusion in the Arts will facilitate interviews with artists and the people from arts organizations who collaborate with them to share lessons learned, barriers faced, and how to overcome those barriers. The day will end with a final full group discussion pulling together themes of the day and suggestions for future work.

This event is hosted by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust and the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council in partnership with Inclusion in the Arts, City Theatre, and the Kennedy Center's Office of VSA & Accessibility.
