Getting and Keeping Health Insurance: Resources for Artists Speaker: Jim Brown, Managing Director, Artists* Health Insurance Resource Center, The Actors* Fund of America With health insurance in the United States being largely employer-based, most Americans access health insurance through their jobs. For people in the arts and entertainment, with incomes that often depend on freelance employment, with work that is project-based, or who are self-employed, finding affordable health insurance is increasingly difficult. This seminar will focus on resources and opportunities available to artists and arts professionals for obtaining health insurance. November 10, 2004 6:30-8:30 St. Francis College, Founders Hall 182 Remsen Street To RSVP, please contact the Brooklyn Arts Council at 718.625.0080.
