Joe Concra is a painter, a builder, and the CO+ founder of the O+ Festival, based in Kingston, NY. O+ is a community-rooted organization that connects artists and musicians with health and wellness care through a radical exchange model that started with an annual music & healthcare exchange festival and has expanded into year round care.
In this episode, we talk about how it all began, what it takes to create systems of care outside of the system, and the deep link between art, service, and place. Joe’s perspective is thoughtful, kind, and rooted in lived experience. This is a conversation about action, belief, and building something meaningful from the ground up & creating real positive change in communities.
