Recently I've been thinking about the connect between non-profit fundraising types of events, those that attend them, and the artistic side of things that seems to find a welcome foothold in all of that.
Three Events/Organizations seem to exemplify what I'm saying:
1. Amnesty International's "JAMnesty" music event, which brought together the UI Anti-War Committee, Invisible Children, Iowa United Nations Association, UI Global Health Club, among others.
2. Invisible Children's use of videos to promote their cause, along with the UI chapter's possible big concert blow-out fundraising event.
3. Speakers at the UI, i.e. musician and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, Angelique Kidjo, lecturing at the UI tomorrow, Wednesday, March 5.
This is just an idea I've been pondering. It seems to become more pertinent and obvious the clear relationship between creativity and the desire to help.
Thoughts?
