FEAW are presenting at LEAD 2024! July 29-August 2 in Seattle, WA. Join Laura Benge (Accessibility Manager, Sundance Institute / FEAW member) and Cassidy Dimon (Full Spectrum Features, Founder of FEAW) at our session HARNESSING COMMUNITY POWER TO INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY & BUY-IN. Building community is integral to the success of any arts program. Learn about how a group of media arts non-profits from across the country came together to form the Film Event Accessibility Working Group (FEAW), and how they continue to leverage their collective power to create and provide free resources to organizations across the country. FEAW members from the Sundance Institute, Full Spectrum Features and SFFILM (tbd) will share their experiences and lead some group community-building prompts.
