Washington Artists Health Insurance Project (WAHIP) is a pilot project to forge new strategies that improve artists’ access to health insurance. The Musicians Association has served on the steering committee for WAHIP which shares a partnership with Artist Trust. In 2008, the Actors Fund helped to support the printing of a local healthcare brochure for our region called How To Access Health Care in Washington. You can obtain a hard copy of this brochure from our local office or view a PDF here: Artists Health Guide PDF.
