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.
