We had a great time at the Jonny Z Festival this year. If you don’t know about Jonny Z, or Art 180, you can find out more here. Well worth looking into … thanks again to the powers that be for putting on a great time in RVA …

“Jonathan Zanin was a creative and compassionate soul who loved to make art and music. Known to countless adoring friends as Jonny Z, he was a friend to all and enemy to none, a champion for the underdog. Jonny died in 2007 at the age of 26. This festival, established by his friends in partnership with Art 180, honors his legacy, celebrates his spirit, and promotes art, music, community and friendship—all things Jonny cared about.”
