Check out a nice review of TAPESTRIES' success so far on IndieGoGo.
FROM THE BLOG POST:
"In the expanded awareness made possible by the Networked World, we experience burdens we have not had to bear before. But our power to connect — patron to artist, money to cause, healing to suffering, vision to reality — has expanded too. The payback to investors in Tapestries of Hope cannot be tallied in the boxoffice grosses. There’s no EBITDA on heroism. The payback comes with shining a light on an ugly and inhuman atrocity, and supporting the cause of Betty Makoni, a beautiful human being whose bravery and sense of purpose is the measure of us all.

This is turning out to be a busy week for "Tapestries of Hope" with director Michealene Cristini Risley just finishing a talk by invitation at Google as part of the Women@Google series (This after Risley's successful Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders Seminar at Stanford University with producer Anand Chandrasekaran).
THIS Saturday, June 28th, 2008, from 1 to 3 pm, is the Tapestries of Hope Fundraiser Wine & Music Event. YOU'RE invited to Wente Vineyards (California's oldest family owned and continuously operated winery) for an afternoon of live music, free food, wine tasting, and helping our human rights cause in the historic (air-conditioned) Estate Winery Barrel Room, located at 5565 Tesla Road in Livermore, CA.
Enjoy live music from winemaker Karl Wente's acclaimed band "The Front Porch," which includes "Tapestries of Hope" producer Ray Arthur Wang, a retired concert pianist. The Front Porch rotates through multiple genres for a truly unique listening experience: Hear original music as well as The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Van Morrison, Tom Petty, Chick Corea, Beethoven, Gershwin, etc. (Joining The Front Porch for this charity event will be world renowned percussionist Kenneth Nash, famed for his collaborations with Bobby McFerrin, Herbie Hancock, Dizzy Gillespie, B.B.King, Woody Herman, Weather Report, and many more.)
All proceeds from the concert ticket sales go to complete "Tapestries of Hope," the human rights movie and social entrepreneurship effort that you're familiar with. Michealene will speak at the event.
For the PHILANTHROPISTS out there, tickets go for donation levels of $25, $100, and $500, the latter two coming with great perks. RSVP today at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=22850579492
For those with a tighter budget, there are GROUP DISCOUNTS: you can show up at the door in a group of 2 for $5 OFF each $25 minimum entry fee. Show up in a group of 3+ for $10 OFF each entry fee.
As a thank you for your donation to our registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, you will receive UP TO $50 SAVINGS off wine and merchandise in the Wente Family Estates tasting rooms. Restrictions may apply.
