Artists, fans appeal for aid<\/p>\n
As countries affected by the Dec. 26 tsunami move ahead with
\ntheir national and international efforts toward reconstruction,
\nartists, musicians, film industries and even sports events
\ncontinued to generate funds across the world.<\/p>\n
In Canada, the Mennonite Church put on an art exhibition in
\ntheir heritage gallery to help tsunami survivors, resident
\nIndonesian artists and their families back home. Meanwhile,
\nteenagers in Fairhope, Alabama, organized their own exhibit to
\nraise funds and Sandford parish in Dublin held a charity concert.<\/p>\n
Top musicians -- classical, jazz, rock, country and indie --
\nare also generating funds to channel through relief
\norganizations, from Bangkok to Mumbai, from Istanbul to Glasgow
\nand from Vancouver to Austin.<\/p>\n
And more help is on its way as Yusuf Islam -- formerly Cat
\nStevens -- and Michael Learns to Rock arrive in Jakarta next
\nweek.<\/p>\n
In the face of tragedy, world artists -- and their fans --
\nhave united in a spirit of hope to show that where there is a
\nneed, they will respond.<\/p>",
