ART*MUSIC*JUSTICE


This is an awesome tour coming up with Derek Webb and others. We tried to get them to come to Morgantown, but it didn't work out unfortunately.

I just love the title: ART*MUSIC*JUSTICE. It's really neat because at so.zo (the coffeeshop/cereal bar I help with), those are the very three words we use in a little business card holder that says: 'SO.ZO SUPPORTS...' and then those three words are listed, and underneath that is the appropriate business card of the person who oversees each of those areas of so.zo's mission (I'm under the MUSIC one).

Kind of the byline for the tour is using is: 'HOPEFUL*INSPIRED*INVOLVED' and again, this is really clever marketing because it speaks to and corresponds with the roots of the three ideas of art, music, and justice. (And of course it's more than just clever marketing because these artists are really committed to what they're purporting to be.)

A slogan for the tour is: 'ADD TO THE BEAUTY, SEEK JUSTICE & GIVE GOD PRAISE.' I think each of us could adopt this as a life vision in some way. Think about how you're living or not living out each of these mantras.

The tour is partnering with two wonderful organizations: International Justice Mission and Food for the Hungry. Check out the websites, see if you can swing coming to a tour date, and think about getting involved.
