LEAD
Arts Access was excited to attend lead this year. This year marks the 15th year of the Leadership Exchange in the Arts and Disability conference. Staff met many people working to make the arts accessible around the world and picked up many new tips and ideas to use here at home!
Along with Arts Access, eight other organizations from Raleigh attended Lead, including CAM Raleigh, Artspace, Raleigh Little Theatre, Arts Together and more! This was made possible through scholarship funds provided by the City of Raleigh Arts Commission and United Arts Council of Raleigh and Wake County.
