Composition: Building Community with Arts, Math, and Code (Experience Report)
summary
Composition runs as a free community afternoon of arts math and code with explicit accessibility practices like free events and ADA accessible venues reachable by public transit and offering free water. Organizers buy a domain, use a Google form for submissions (9 applied, 5 accepted), book spaces months ahead (Rotunda, Wonderville), and recruit by targeted outreach. Events draw ~40 attendees, record with OBS and edit in DaVinci Resolve, fix mic gaps for audience Q&A, and keep longterm relationships with submitters for future calls.
