On April 8, 2026, inside the elegance of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, acclaimed author Anthony P. Jones will use his artistic voice to debut his newest thriller, Sorrowful Mysteries. Yet the deeper purpose of the evening reaches far beyond.
A Night Rooted in Purpose
This event benefits a nonprofit organization, Journey for Change, where Anthony P. Jones serves as Vice President. The organization is committed to historical awareness and community healing. It will also support Anthony P. Jones who is using his artistic voice to bring communities together to celebrate the joy and healing that the gift of the Arts offer humanity.
The inspiration for this gathering is deeply intentional. Recently, beloved monks walked through the frigid winter streets of Richmond in a Peace Walk — radiating calm, unity, and quiet strength. Their message was simple but powerful: peace begins within each of us and moves outward into the world.
This event seeks to carry that same spirit forward. As the evening closes with the anthem “We Are the World,” guests will be reminded that art, culture, story, and shared experience still have the power to unite us.
Despite grappling with undiagnosed dyslexia until 37 years old, Jones is a brilliant and talented author who excelled academically. He navigated through medical school and several prestigious universities, showcasing his exceptional intellect and perseverance. This period of his life nurtured a deep-seated desire for knowledge and a burning ambition to make a lasting impact on the world.
