Health Insurance Deadlines Are Soon—
Make Sure That You Have Health Insurance Now

Dear Friends,

Now is the time to begin securing health insurance before the end of the year. 

All Massachusetts citizens must have proof of health insurance by December 31, 2007, as required by the new health insurance mandate.

ArtistLink is very pleased to announce that we have offically launched our Predevelopment Recoverable Grant Fund for artist space in Massachusetts.  This $50,000 fund will disburse up to $10,000 in 'recoverable' grants for proponents of artist space to cover essential early costs in the development process, such as architecture fees, code consulting, financial modeling and market testing.
