Nestled halfway between New York City and Albany, the town of Kingston, New York has evolved since being the state’s first post-Revolutionary capital. Once burned to the ground by the British “Lobsterbacks,” this small community is now home to public art that enlivens the character of these historic structures. The annual O+ Festival offers complimentary healthcare to the international artists and musicians who have participated and painted large-scale murals throughout the town. Since its inception in 2010, 22 murals have “exchanged the medicine of art for the art of medicine.”
