Leadership Exchange in Arts and Disability

Come LEAD With Us!

Join us for the annual event for arts and accessibility professionals working to ensure that people with disabilities and older adults can participate fully in the cultural arts!
This year the Kennedy Center is pleased to partner with the Minnesota State Arts Board, VSA arts of Minnesota, and the Guthrie Theater to bring the 2007 LEAD Conference and Training to Minneapolis, MN. Drawing on national and local resources, the conference will provide an array of opportunities to:

• Discuss issues ranging from physical and programmatic access to ticketing policies and marketing strategies;
• Share ideas and learn what has been successful at other arts organizations and cultural institutions;
• Engage in an open dialogue with representatives from the Disability Rights Section of the Department of Justice;
• Learn about best practices and how to develop sound policies; and
• Participate in stimulating and enriching discussions with leaders in the field.

With sessions in the brand new Guthrie Theater and special events at the McKnight Foundation and Minneapolis Institute of Arts, you’ll also have a chance to experience the thriving arts community of Minneapolis.
So plan your trip to the Midwest and become a part of this national network of leaders vested in creating and shaping the future of access and accommodations for the inclusion of seniors and people with disabilities in the cultural arts.
