ACoT offers affordable healthcare for artists
Let’s hear for Austin Circle of Theaters!
The Austin arts service organization — led by the smart and passionate Latifah Taormina — has just announced that it is now offering affordable health insurance to its members.
Through ACoT’s partnership with Fractured Atlas, a New York City-based arts service organization, existing and new ACoT members will have access to a variety of health care plans, including limited as well as full-feature plans, prescription discount programs and even a discount dental plan.
Membership fees to ACoT run $36-$48 for individuals, $120-$500 for arts nonprofit organizations. Detailed information on pricing and benefits of the health insurance plan is available online.
Additionally, ACoT has negotiated a discounted rate on liability insurance for ACoT member organizations through the John A. Barclay Agency. The all-in-one Showtime Product policy is specifically designed to suit the needs of performing arts groups and will be especially beneficial to ACoT member organizations required to carry insurance as a condition of receiving City of Austin funding.
ACoT is the only organization in Austin providing these types of vital shared services to artists and arts organizations. Say Taormina: “We work hard to provide Austin artists with accessible and affordable insurance options, so that they can focus their energy and finances on their creative work.”
Can’t argue with that!
