Anthony Washington, artist
We first met artist Anthony Washington nearly five years ago when he was creating a mural near our studio. Since that time he has done some cool projects, moved to Colorado and recently did illustration for a children’s book. He is now back in the area and looking use his artistic skills to help beautify our cityscape.
Washington would be a great addition to a Syracuse Mural Arts team.
He is pictured here at the NYS Fair holding the book he illustrated for Jackie Grace.

Charles Cannon and the Bells of Harmony were the featured act (along with King Solomon Hicks) for the fourth of five Jazz in the City concerts. Last night’s show was the first to be held at the Byrne Dairy distribution facility.
It may have been more blues and gospel than Jazz, but the fans at the Byrne Dairy location still loved the music.
Before King Solomon Hicks hit the stage Common Council President Van Robinson was given an achievement award for his involvement to help grow Jazz in the City. In the background drummer Norman Edwards gets ready for the final set.
