  5. LEAD was formed in 2000from a small group of cultural arts administrators – all of whom were responsible for accessibility at their respective cultural arts organization – gathered at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. to discuss institutional cultural arts and disability issues. They shared one common goal: the desire to create accessible cultural arts programs that are inclusive of people with disabilities and older adults.

  6. That initial group has now grown into a professional network focused on expanding the breadth and scope of accessibility services and programming across the country and around the world. The Leadership Exchange in Arts and Disability (LEAD) network: • explores practical methods for implementing accessibility in cultural environments; • communicates information about arts and accessibility, and; • shares resources and knowledge among professionals in the field of accessibility. • LEAD accomplishes its objectives through an annual conference, an active communications network, and resources generated by the LEAD network and maintained by the Kennedy Center.
