ARTISTS UNITE
Open Letter — musicians, singers, artists, dancers, actors, sculptors, poets
How about we make a movement? If you are an artist — of any kind — we need you today. Our country needs you.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone who creates would join with someone else who creates something different, and planned an event — be it a presentation/performance/exhibition/demonstration/whatever.

Please start planning an event for next week, next month, next year. You can name your event “Unity, “As One,” “Light,” or simply “Love.” Or think of a better name, one that reflects your feelings and your commitment.
Visualize how the night (or the afternoon) would go. Who do you need? What do you need? Write it down. Gather your team and get detailed. Find a space that’s friendly. Set a date, a time, a place. Charge a “cover,” to “cover” the expenses, or make it a free event — and pass a tip jar, basket, or bucket.
Invite your friends; invite your family; invite your co-workers; invite your neighbors. Right now, we need to be with like-minded beings. We don’t need to talk; we just need to feel.
Art heals. Sometimes, it’s the only thing that can.
Thank you. Sincerely.
