RappArts restoring Johnny P. Johnson mural

The Johnny P. Johnson mural shortly after it was unveiled in 2018. It has since degraded, but will be restored.

RappArts has been raising money to restore the Johnny P. Johnson mural on Sophia Street in downtown Fredericksburg.

The 14-by-18-foot mural by artist Bill Harris honors Johnson, a late teacher, artist and Fredericksburg community leader. Completed in 2018, it has slowly deteriorated over the past six years.

RappArts is holding a fundraising event April 30 at Brock’s Riverside Grill. More details are here.
