The Art of Compassion

Who are CompassionArt?
"We are a global community, an underground adventure, a map being drawn as we speak that connects wealth with poverty, art with hope, compassion with despair. We are starting with 12 of the best known Christian recording artists, creating an album and a book, with all proceeds and royalties doing to break poverty's hold. But we're not stopping here; CompassionArt is evolving to connet, inspire, and release compassion all over the world."

If there is only one CD you're going to buy this year, it oughta be the CompassionArt cd, which is out in Christian stores everywhere. All proceeds and royalties are going directly to charity...the songwriters and their record companies are not getting a dime. Its a powerful movement that joins the dots between art and compassion....something that a lot of creative types have been struggling with I think.

A live performance of "So Great," one of the songs in the CompassionArt album, by Chris Tomlin, Christy Nockels, Israel Houghton, Paul Baloche, Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W.Smith. (they ran out of guitars, so poor Chris didn't get to play. he makes a really cute MC though. hehe!)
