Asheville's Artist for a Global Village

Asheville's Artist for a Global CommunityRainbow Mountain is proud to be a sponsor for Sunday night’s Asheville’s Artist for a Global Village at the Orange Peel

 

Come join “Everything Counts” and Asheville Artists as we rock and funk out, and raise money to send Rainbow’s own Andi Morrell and her daughter to Bali where they will live and work to grow at the internationally renowned Green School whose unique earth-based educational program draws families, scholars and media from around the world.  Support the growth of a revolutionary and absolutely necessary new kind of education. We are a Global Village; we must connect children all over the world and educate them about preserving the environment in a way that makes sense. Andi will connect the children from schools in Asheville to the International pool of children at Green School Bali. Whether or not you know Andi or her daughter, come and join the party!

Come and party with Gift of Gab and some of Asheville’s most talented artists! Zansa, Josh Phillips, Josh Blake’s Jukebox, Caitlin Krisko and Lotion, Juan Holladay from Secret B-Sides, Agent 23, Ben Hovey, and members of Yo Mamas Big Fat Booty Band. There will be a silent auction to the right of the stage, and an art show to the left of the stage. All in the middle, there will be some booty shakin’!

$20 (advance ticket/ $22 at the door) includes 2 drink tickets per customer, for complimentary beer or non-alcoholic beverage. Show starts at 8 pm

Hands of Hope

Hands of Hope

Three schools come together with three service-learning projects and one idea: to learn to change the world.

By doing a good turn, known as “tikkun olam “ in Judaism, change in our corner of the world can lead to change around the world. Hands of Hope consists of a several month service-learning project in partnership between a school and local non-profit and concluding with a community-wide benefit concert.

The Hands of Hope family concert will feature Billy Jonas at The Orange Peel on Sunday, March 21st 2010. Tickets for the concert are available in our office, at our partner schools; Odyssey Community School and Maccabi Academy or at the door.

Each school will share their community work at the event so come early to visit tables and see what they’ve accomplished. Local businesses sponsoring Hands of Hope will be present as well.

We hope you will join us in this community-wide event to be a part of changing the world!
