Johnny P Johnson: The Color of Love
The City of Fredericksburg has many talented artists. One has distinguished himself beyond the color palette—the extraordinary artist and educator Johnny P. Johnson. A local icon in the city of Fredericksburg and beyond, his life far exceeds his artistry. While the bold, colorful paintings of Johnny Johnson are coveted by art collectors and citizens here and abroad, few know of the countless lives he touched as a humanitarian, civil rights activist, church and community leader, star athlete, cultural diplomat, and family man.
Evening with an Expert will take place at the FAM (907 Princess Anne St) on November 16, 2023 from 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm and will conclude with a light reception with the speaker, Retired United States Ambassador Pamela Bridgewater. Lecture tickets are $20 for non-members and $10 for members.
