In 2010 artists and health care professionals joined forces to create an innovate, joyful and effective way of offering health care to uninsured or underinsured artists. Through the exchange of art, music and health care the wildly successful O Positive (O+) Festival was born in Kingston, NY.  The model of the 0+ Festival has been recreated across the country. Listen to Joe speak passionately about the vision and generosity that went into creating this festival and how the festival not only provides an exchange of arts and health care but also nourishes communities by empowering them to take control of their collective well being.  The next O Positive Festival will take place on October 8,9 &amp; 10 of 2020.

 Meet Joe Concra: Artist, Visionary and Co-Founder of Kingston's O Positive Festival

A conversation from September 2016 featuring Joe Concra, painter, activist, and co-founder of the non-profit organization called O+ (pronounced o-positive, like the blood type). O+ creates opportunities for community members to care for each other including their most well known offering, the annual O+ Festival, now in it's ninth year in Kingston, New York, where artists, health care providers, musicians, and volunteers collaborate in the co-creation of a community festival of art and wellness. All are equal, all are one at O+. This episode also features some interesting introductory conversation with Jimmy, myself, and my wife Jennifer that is still very timely despite being recorded approximately two months BT (before Trump).
