John Gingrich and collaborator Hee Jun Ahn are currently contracted by the City of Richmond Public Art Program to create digitally printable mural designs for Storeys Cafe, a social enterprise that teaches people recovering from a addiction culinary skills. The designs include art generated by storeys members from five community engagement workshops that Hee Jun and John hosted. Participants were asked to envision and draw what a healthy community means to them.

Scheduled installation late April 2019.
