'Sometimes All it Takes is One Voice' - A Message To Fans
(ATLANTA :: 31 October 2010) Collectively, ‘one voice’ becomes a thousand strong.Every once in a while we’ll post something that’s relevant to our mission - and this is a nice addition to the mix. The ever-talented Gavin Mikhail covers the always fabulous Natasha Bedingfield with “Strip Me.” I assumed something sexy because I hadn’t yet heard the original - but it can be interpreted as a call to stick to your principles despite all odds. Worth a watch:
In the land of raising money for Positive Impact, we “strip” ourselves of pretense and either make a donation, put time in to volunteer, or make a purchase - all to inspire and support those folks living with HIV. Take a listen to this below; it is an homage to everyone who has given their time in the past five years for ARTvision... and all those who will in the future. Artists, buyers, volunteers, enthusiasts, PI staff members - you all make a huge difference.
You might say our future earnings for year five, and for the in-development ARTvision live, are still... Unwritten.
Enjoy. And love from... - Will Pollock
PS: here’s a link to the original song by Bedingfield, in case you’re interested:
