St. Paul, MN - (September 24, 2007)... Springboard for the Arts is excited to announce this year's bigger and better Health Fair for Artists, a day devoted to connecting artists, arts administrators and their families to healthcare resources. The free event will be held Saturday, November 3rd from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Carleton Artist Lofts in St. Paul (2285 University Ave). Springboard for the Arts is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to cultivate a vibrant arts community by connecting artists with the skills, contacts, information and services they need to make a living and a life. This is Springboard's third Health Fair for Artists.
There will be health-related workshops, free and 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. New to this year, financial planners will help attendees design a plan for a healthy future without the high pressure. Further, residents of the Carleton Artist Lofts will open up their spaces, so Health Fair attendees can check out the work of local artists while getting connected to health resources.
