Rose Johnson's Memorial at Icehouse in Downtown Phoenix

There was no dearth of Rose Johnson-created (and inspired) art at the memorial celebration held in honor of the artist on Saturday night, June 20th, 2009 at the Icehouse downtown. Hundreds of people showed up to pay their respects to one of Phoenix's seminal members of this town's arts community. The memorial was capped by a procession of mermaids bearing offerings to the spirit of Rose Johnson.
