The Richmond Times Dispatch has an article about St. Andrew’s School students painting a mural in honor of the late Jonny Z.

“ART 180 enlisted the help of students at St. Andrew’s to come up with ideas for the mural. Zanin’s friends told the students about Jonny Z — about his love of art and music, community, coffee and pizza — and they went from there. The mural, running the length of a back building connected to Joe’s Inn, 205 N. Shields Ave., in the alley between Shields and Rowland Street, contains a little bit of everything, or “kind of random, fun and colorful,” said Lauren Healy, another project coordinator.”

The James River Ringers, Richmond’s premier handbell ensemble, will give a free concert at St. Andrew’s Church on Sunday, February 17th, at 6:00 pm. Located at the corner of S.
