SPECTRUM PRODUCTIONS PROUDLY PRESENTS…

…our 13th Annual Gala and Screening featuring 8 films and other creative content from 50 autistic creators who attended our 2022 summer camps.

This year’s hybrid event will be held at a NEW VENUE - IN PERSON at the Monument-National’s Ludger-Duvernay Theatre - and live streamed via AIRMEET.

Come and celebrate the talent of these young artists, the dedication of the staff and volunteers who supported them, and the community that continued to work together in exceptional circumstances to make 2022 a year to remember!

IT’S OUR BIG FUNDRAISING EVENT OF THE YEAR…

..AND YOUR SUPPORT MAKES A DIFFERENCE!

This past year was one of incredible growth as we surged forward with the development and implementation of the Spectrum Creative Network, and we couldn’t have done it without the help of our community. This year we were able to:

  • open our studio doors to in-person programs again

  • expand our staff with 13 new positions

  • announce and begin the production of Spectrum Live Season 2, creating paid opportunities for autistic and neurodiverse creators

  • establish a dedicated website section for Creator Profiles to grow and celebrate our Spectrum Creative Network talent pool

  • conduct a massive upgrade of our digital technology and virtual desktop infrastructure!

We have set this year’s fundraising goal at $100,000 so we can continue our growth trajectory, expand the Spectrum Creative Network, and pursue our vision to build a strong, healthy, inclusive, resilient community across Canada that celebrates and values autistic creative talent.

You can support us in this goal by attending the Gala, making a financial contribution, or by sharing this event with your friends and family!

Logging into the event

The link emailed to you before the event will act as an authentication to enter. You will only be required to fill in your name, organization, and designation details to take you straight to the event.

When you enter Airmeet, you can check if the session is live or yet to start. If the session is live, you will directly see the stage/session upon login. If you land in the social lounge, it means that the session is yet to start.

Please make the most out of the social lounge during this time! The area allows you to interact with other participants of the event and hop between tables to meet new people and have conversations. The Social Lounge is active before a live session, during session breaks, and after the live session ends.

Join tables: Typically, an Airmeet virtual table has between two to eight seats each. Once you decide which table you’d like to be seated at, select the “Take a seat” button below the table. If you want to leave the conversation, say bye to the table participants, and click on the “Leave the table” button in the bottom right.

A countdown will be displayed when there are 15 seconds left for the session to commence. Once the session begins, you will no longer be able to access the Social Lounge.
