We invite all the citizens of the world to gather in Canada in 2010; bring all your hopes and dreams to change the world from ME 2 WE!

850,000 people at Downsview Park - World Youth Day

The IMAGINE - music & arts festival is inspired by John Lennon's song "Imagine". It is also being infused with the spirit of WOODSTOCK '69 (and LIVE8), to create a “SPARK” for massive environmental and social change.

Since music is a universal language that unites people, we want to use it as a unifying force to unite 300 million people to take action on tacking some of the world's most pressing problems, such as: poverty, peace, sustainability, health, the extinction of species, equal rights, the environment, and the future of our planet.


EARTHSHIP Summit

IMAGINE is part of Artist David Kam's visionary EARTHSHIP Summit, to coincide with the G8 World Leaders Meeting, happening at the same time.

G8 World Leaders Meeting 2007

The G8 World Leaders Meeting is a meeting of the world's richest nations (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the UK and the US), representing 14% of the world's population, and 65% of the world economy. The combined G8 military spending was US$850 billion, representing 72% of the world's total military expenditures and accounting for 96-99% of the world's nuclear weapons.

The EARTHSHIP Summit will be an alternative people's summit to complement the G8 World Leaders Meeting. We plan to invited to the EARTHSHIP Summit, 200 of the world's poorest nations aka non-G8 nations, non-profit organizations, green businesses, and concerned citizens of the world.

Citizens worldwide coming to our happening will be able to share the beauty of art, listen to music and deal with issues such as: poverty, peace, sustainability, health, the extinction of species, equal rights, the environment, and the future of our planet.

We plan to produce a summary report of the world's concerns for submission to all the G8 World Leaders.

Imagine!

Artie says, "we will unite four generations to bring back the spirit of Woodstock '69 to change the world from ME 2 WE. I believe that what we did at Woodstock in 1969 helped the civil rights movement, and eventually ended the Vietnam war; it also set the stage for Obama to be elected President of the United States and I am so proud of that". People are still dying from poverty, the planet is polluted, numerous species are facing extinction, there is still war and injustice. Artie Kornfeld, invites the entire Woodstock Nation to bring back the spirit of Woodstock '69 to the world.
