Check out the O+Festival, October 8,9 & 10!

Check out this incredible event coming up this October! It's called O+Festival. This project is to stimulate an exchange of 'medicine' between artists and healthcare professionals in the Kingston area. As one of the coordinators, Denise Orzo, describes it, "…It's part art and music celebration, part urban renewal, part taking care of one another, part social activism."      
    
        Here's the scoop.  Healthcare professionals around the Kingston area have provided healthcare service for the uninsured 'creative' class. In return, artists from around the area are creating large format paste ups inspired by the human body, anatomy, wellness etc. The works will be displayed in designated areas, donated for this cause, in Uptown Kingston. The participating artists will receive healthcare, as well as have their work documented in situ and published in a post-festival catalogue. I apologize for such short notice. If you are interested in participating the deadline for submissions is September 10th. 

        At O+Festival (October 8, 9 & 10) great bands will perform, short films will be shown and a 7 hour long endurance performance by Linda Montano will be performed. Admittance is a suggested donation of only 25$ for three days!  If any of you are interested in volunteering at the festival you will receive a free 3 day admittance!
