Fr-Su 10/8 through 10/10- O+ FESTIVAL OF MUSIC, ART & WELLNESS, featuring COMMON PRAYER, HOPEWELL, MIKE & RUTHY, NINA VIOLET, POOK, and more, in Uptown Kingston—Featuring twenty bands curated by members of Kingston-based indie gods Mercury Rev, the O+ Festival of Music, Art & Wellness provides a wealth of artistic festivities, that also unites artists directly with a coalition of local health care providers and resources—all participating artists will receive free and discounted health services from local participating medical and health professionals. O+ was started by a handful of Hudson Valley artists and doctors whose goals were to bring vitality to their neighborhood and to offer a community-driven solution to the inaccessibility of public health care. Dr. Thomas Cingel, DDS, a Kingston-based dentist and festival co-organizer, says “O+ is about supporting our artists by providing them a weekend-long health clinic. In some cases, treatment will continue after the festival at little or no cost.” Artists are often called upon to perform their services for free in benefit gig situations, quite often they are the only ones doing so. Here’s an excellent chance to give a little something back to them for a change, while enjoying some top shelf art and entertainment. Along with exhibits, short films, performances, and large-scale outdoor wheat-paste murals, bands galore perform—Common Prayer, Hopewell, Mike & Ruthy, Nina Violet, POOK, and fifteen more—sagely selected by members of Mercury Rev. Participating Uptown Kingston venues include Keegan Ales, Elephant, the Stockade Tavern, Backstage Studio Productions, and the Beahive.
