WHEN ARTISTS AND MUSICIANS THRIVE,
SO DO CULTURE AND COMMUNITIES

WHEN ARTISTS AND MUSICIANS THRIVE, SO DO CULTURE AND COMMUNITIES

The O+ Festival is an annual three-day celebration of art, music, and wellness that takes place in Kingston, NY, featuring an eclectic music lineup, visual and public art performances and activations, and community wellness events.

Behind the scenes, O+ brings together hundreds of local health & wellness practitioners with artists and musicians to participate in a radical exchange model that provides vital healthcare services to underinsured creatives in the Hudson Valley and beyond. We call this exchange “the art of medicine for the medicine of art.”

Since its inception in 2010, O+ has facilitated thousands of medical, dental, and wellness treatments for artists, musicians, and creatives.

In 2023, we established a year-round, exchange-based clinic for artists and musicians in Kingston, expanding the services provided at the O+ Festival into a sustainable model for care available 365 days a year.

Art

During the O+ Festival, artists make murals, sculptures, installations, films, dance, performances, and spoken word in public spaces.

Music

O+ festivals feature concerts in large and intimate venues, including a historic landmark cathedral, galleries, breweries, and even alleys.

Wellness

The O+ Artists’ Clinic is the heart of every festival. All O+ artists, musicians, and volunteers receive care from nurses, doctors, dentists, bodyworkers, and mental health professionals. Audiences attend wellness expos, healing arts classes, cycling events, preventative health workshops, and NARCAN & CPR training.
