Who Killed the Music will be opening its art exhibit under the same name at the Grammy Museum this year during Grammy Week. Will.I.Am is curating the project along with co curator and artist Kris Lewis. The exhibit is a group show of about 15 artists and is scheduled to open January 24. Each art piece was specially commissioned for the Who Killed The Music concept. Last month during the Grammy nominations announcements Will.I.Am held a press conference announcing the Art exhibit, Who Killed The Music documentary and a special one night event with international DJ/Producer David Guetta. The two are teaming up to throw a Dip Night: Party for a Cause benefitting the i.am Scholarship (http://iamscholarship.dipdive.com/) foundation.
The art exhibit opening at the Grammy Museum on January 24, 2010 will benefit two important foundations that support young people in the arts.
The Grammy Foundation was established in 1989 and its mission is to cultivate the understanding, appreciation and advancement of the contribution of recorded music to American culture. In addition the Grammy Foundation has partnered with The Recording Academy to bring awareness to the importance of music and arts in education.
The I.AM Scholarship Foundation was created by Will.I.Am in 2009. Each year a new I.AM Scholar will be selected and will receive a full 4 year scholarship to attend college in pursuits of a degree in either Computer Technology, Film & Television or Journalism and New Media programs.
