O+ Alumni care continues year-round at the O+ Clinic in Kingston, NY❤️‍🩹

Meet our dedicated team⬇️

Dr. Andrea Littleton (Medical Director + Clinician) has been a part of the O+ Festival as a volunteer provider in the artists’ clinic since 2016, and has dedicated her career to helping underserved and marginalized communities gain access to comprehensive, affirming health and wellness care. As Medical Director, Dr. Littleton will lead clinic operations at the O+ Exchange (now located at 334 Wall Street) and will be a crucial partner in helping envision the future of care at O+.

“The 365 clinic is a place to help address artists’ ongoing healthcare needs throughout the year, and I’m really excited to be able to continue that work and grow our network of providers and services for alumni and the wider community,” Dr. Littleton says. “I feel like, now more than ever, we are being tested to find creative solutions to some of the barriers to care that our healthcare system hasn’t been able to provide.”

Dina Kravtsov (Clinic Coordinator + Provider) is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, herbalist, and artist. Her work in healthcare offers holistic, root-cause care that thoughtfully weaves together Eastern and Western healing traditions. Her approach is practical and patient-centered, guided by the belief that healing happens when the whole person is seen, heard and supported.

Veronika D’Aragona (Clinic Admin + Outreach) is a health professional who recently received her Master of Science in Applied Nutrition from the University of New England, and is currently pursuing her license to become a Registered Dietitian. She is also a certified yoga instructor with a particular interest in restorative yoga and breathwork.

O+ wishes Mac Welch safe travels with deep gratitude as he leaves Kingston to start his next chapter. joined the O+ team at the beginning of 2024 and has since made immeasurable contributions to the structure and function of O+’s year round exchange for healthcare. With an intimate understanding of the needs of working artists and a gift for building systems, Mac has been integral to created an infrastructure wherein alumni can access care from local providers, providers can claim the goods and services alumni have to offer and the community at large can benefit from the public programming that is generated through that exchange. He leaves the organization with tools, technology and roadmaps to grow the operation and outcomes of our mission in action, pO+stively impacting the wellbeing of artists in our community for years to come. Thank you Mac for who you are and how much you care. Bon Voyage! XO+ ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Welco+me our new Production Lead, Xe Davis🥳🎉!

Xe Davis is a Hudson Valley–born artist, musician, designer, and community organizer whose work is deeply rooted in creativity, collaboration, and care. Having worked with many of the region’s most beloved cultural spaces—including Opus 40, Basilica Hudson, PS21 Chatham, and Radio Kingston—she has become a familiar and trusted presence within the Hudson Valley arts and music community.

Xe is the founder of Human Behavior, a community-centered mutual aid project that produces events throughout the region. Through live music, art, and grassroots organizing, Human Behavior brings together local musicians, artists, and neighbors to raise funds directly for community members and local organizations.
In 2022, Xe returned home to the Hudson Valley after spending 13 years on the West Coast, where she was embedded in the Los Angeles DIY music scene and Oakland creative community. As an active musician, she performed regularly throughout California while also founding and operating Honey Trap, a downtown Los Angeles music venue that became an important gathering space for the DIY creative community for over three and a half years. Through Honey Trap, she fostered countless performances, collaborations, and opportunities for emerging artists and musicians.

Xe is also the creator behind WooWoo World, a clothing line and multidisciplinary creative project that explores repurposed fashion, wearable art, and experimental design across a variety of mediums. Beyond her creative work, Xe has a background in teaching, art therapy, and a longtime love of animals with years of experience running independent dog walking businesses in NYC and LA. Her path has been anything but linear, shaped by many different lives, skills, and experiences, all of which inform the way she approaches community building, organizing, and activism.

Today, Xe is grateful to be back home in the Hudson Valley, contributing to the place that raised her by creating spaces where people feel empowered to embrace their creativity, connect with one another, and feel supported through all stages of life❤️

The works are inspired by photographs in news articles, family portraits and historical photography catalogs.

The protagonists are painted with happy and hopeful demeanors in an illustrative style that creates accessibility to a wide range of audiences and invites them to rethink the family, the immigrant and the American worker narrative.

O+ is honored to present Somos, featuring recent work by Hudson Valley based artist Ramiro Davaro-Comas.

🖼️Exhibition Dates: May 23 – June 20, 2026
🎉Opening Reception: Sat, May 23rd 5-8pm
📍Location: The O+ Exchange Gallery/Art O+, 334 Wall St, Kingston, NY
⌚️Gallery Hours: Thurs-Sat 12-6pm or by appt

In his distinct style, combining the visual language of street art, studio painting and skateboard culture, Davaro-Comas unfailingly imbues his compositions with relatability, humanity and wonder. Through active mark-making and his playful palette, the illustrative figures of Somos are presented in scenes of working families that draw forth associations with American Regionalist painting, Los Tres Grandes in Mexico and WPA photographs of the early 20th century while making the viewer recall their family’s Kodak pictures of the 1970’s and 80’s.

Somos, “we are,” reminds us that the story of America is one of migration and that we see–throughout our history and into the present moment–the movement of families, of all identities and resources, as they seek to build better futures for their children.
