THE LAUNCH EVENT
The Music Aid launch event was supported by music legends and attended by over 100,000 people. USA Today described the launch in 1998 as "the most exciting new project in music and media" and awarded musicaid.org "Website Of The Year". Many well known musicians were involved: Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood donated his original artwork to the event, talks with Carlos Santana and others set the direction, signed guitars and album covers from Paul McCartney, John Lee Hooker, Oasis, Prince, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Bono and others funded the launch, and the funds raised at the event supported children in need and important work with The United Nations UNV World School House program. The seven day launch event - "The Art of Music Festival" - was sponsored by AOL, Whiteley's of London and Tower Records. The main exhibition occupied the entire top floor of the Whiteley's complex with live music performances and dance events staged throughout the Whiteley's Center in central London. Over 100,000 visitors enjoyed a week of art exhibits, live bands and dance shows. This event holds the record for the largest exhibition of music related art staged anywhere in the world, with original art works on display by Andy Warhol, John Lennon, Peter Max and others. Funds raised at the launch provided schooling and aid for poor rural village children in SE Asia through Music Aid's Childd Aid program and for the following six years Music Aid operated as an official UK Government Registered International Charity working with the United Nations UNV program and the Net Aid World School House providing schooling for 85,000 needy children in developing countries.
