About the magazine
O+ Festivals is a nonprofit organization founded in 2010 in Kingston, New York, with a mission to connect artists and musicians with healthcare providers. The festival operates on a barter model: artists receive medical, dental, and wellness care in exchange for their creative contributions. This ethos of mutual aid and community care distinguishes O+ from conventional arts festivals, emphasizing sustainability and the well-being of cultural workers. Over time, O+ has expanded to other cities, including Chicago and Philadelphia, while maintaining its grassroots, community-driven approach.

Artists and musicians interested in participating should monitor the O+ Festivals website for open calls, typically announced in the months leading up to each festival. Applications often require samples of work and a statement of interest. Selected participants receive healthcare services in exchange for performing or exhibiting. It is advisable to clearly articulate how your practice aligns with O+'s community-focused mission. For clinic providers, opportunities to volunteer are also available.
