Supporting Individual Artists Coffee Chat: Exchanging Art for Medicine to Catalyze Change in Healthcare

Recorded On: 08/20/2020

imageAbout this Coffee Chat

Americans for the Arts is excited to bring you a monthly series of informal discussions about supporting individual artists. As part of Americans for the Arts ongoing program, Arts Administrators Essentials: Supporting Individual Artists, these monthly "Coffee Chats" are your opportunity to hear from individuals and organizations in the arts and culture field that support individual artists as part of their everyday work. Each month, we will bring you a new topic to support your work with artists. Our topic for August 2020 will be about healthcare for artists.

How can we empower underinsured artists and musicians to take control of their well being? 

Organizers from O+ (pronounced O Positive) will share how they bring creatives and healthcare providers together in an exchange model that is holistic and honors everyone's talents.

This project is supported in part by the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation.
