Rotaract Club's ArtJam for Dongjen Center for Human Rights Education

The Beijing Rotaract Club will be hosting its annual ArtJam fundraiser event this Saturday, September 22 at the Dongjen Bookclub where all proceeds will be donated to the Dongjen Center for Human Rights Education.

A creative concept to gather like-minded people together over art, music and wine, this event is a great way to meet new friends and do your good deed for the day by contributing to a worthy charity organization.

Tickets are RMB 150 pre-sale (email Ian Curtiss at ian.curtiss@rotaractbeijing.org) or RMB 200 at the door. Each participant will receive an art canvass, paint and brushes, 2 glasses of wine, and a lively atmosphere to spend an afternoon among creative types.

All proceeds of the event will go to support Dongjen Center for Human Rights Education.  Dongjen works to produce a culture of human rights in China and protect the rights of marginalized groups with a focus on AIDS affected peoples and Minority groups.

I should also mention that published author and artist Kass Reich will be displaying her own art to support the cause for Dongjen Center, and she'll also be able and willing to lend an artist's hand to anyone looking for a bit of advice or assistance.

Souvenir of China - Forbidden City (HD) - Jean Michel Jarre

Jarre performed two back-to-back concerts in Beijing, China, first in the Forbidden City and then in Tian'anmen Square, on 10th October 2004. ... The concerts were performed in 5.1 Surround Sound and broadcast live to over 1 Billion Chinese viewers. Jean Michel Jarre was accompanied by 260 musicians, including The Beijing Symphony Orchestra, The Chinese National Orchestra, The Beijing Opera Chorus, and notable Chinese rock musicians. ... The distinct lack of fireworks was due to the authorites failing (again) to grant the necessary license in time, like in 1994. ... The official DVD of the event, "Jarre in China", in High Definition with 5.1 Surround Sound, is available to purchase, so please try and if you like, buy. ;-)
