Reminder: Upcoming Health Fair for Artists
October 19, 2007
I highly recommend to any and all artists and arts-minded people in Northfield and its environs that you try to attend the upcoming Springboard for the Arts Health Fair for Artists. Not only is it FREE(!), but it looks to provide some very crucial information for any artist grappling with our nation’s tangled health care system.
Date/Time: Saturday, Nov 3 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Location: Carleton Lofts, 2285 University Ave, Saint Paul, MN
Once again, this event is completely FREE. The only requirement is that you need to RSVP and register in advance here.
Here’s a little bit more info (from Springboard’s website):
This year’s BIGGER and BETTER Health Fair for Artists is for ALL artists, arts administrators, and their families. There will be health-related workshops, low-cost screenings, a flu shot clinic, and representatives of affordable health insurance, nutrition, fitness, low-cost clinics, and alternative care. As in past years, there will be hourly seminars on topics of special interest. And we are adding financial planners to the roster- they can help you design a plan for a healthy future, without the high pressure. Residents of the Carleton Artist Lofts will open up their spaces to Health Fair attendees, so you can check out the work of local artists while getting connected to health resources.
A Northfield artist has alerted the Arts Guild of an important and useful upcoming workshop that is being organized by Springboard for the Arts.
If anyone is interested in attending a workshop introducing artists to NYFA Source–a database of helpful services to artists–on October 11, the artist is looking for someone to carpool with. To arrange this ride, please contact us at 507-645-8877 or email me at michael(at)northfieldartsguild(dot)org.

Participants will have the opportunity to perform test searches for programs relevant to their current work and career needs. FREE, but please pre-register to reserve your space at www.springboardforthearts.org
