Free and Open to the Public

On Saturday, August 9th from 11-4, ART 180 will be holdingtheir Festival for Jonny Z, a street event celebrating not only the life and achievements of our dear, late friend Jonny Zanin, but also the art and change that his amazing life is still inspiringwithin our community. This event will take place outside of JOE’S INN (205 N. Shields). As you might know, an ART 180class has already painted a mural on the side of the building.

The class was funded by donations sent to ART 180 afterJonny Z passed away last year, and the students were taughtabout Jonny and the art aesthetics that he appreciated. Thisevent will be an official unveiling of the mural project.

Because Jonny was a Bizarre Market organizer, the folks at ART 180 asked that the Bizarre Market set up in front ofJOE’S INN as part of this celebration. Anna Virginia and Iagreed, so now we are soliciting your help in spreading theword to artists, crafts people, and potential customers. Aswith all Bizarre Markets, this will be open to everyone with nocost to set up. We will ask that all vendors donate 10% oftheir sales from the day to ART 180.If you have anything to sell, or know someone who does, pleasedrop us a line. And please remember that this Bizarre Marketwill be in front of JOE’S INN, not outside of Chop Suey. Annaand I are nervous that some people will go to the bookstore outof habit.Another important change is that we will not be allowing foodvendors to set up. This shouldn’t create a problem, as Joe’s willbe open and serving food, and the market across from therestaurant will have snacks and drinks.
