A new mural soon will greet visitors in Myrtle Beach’s Arts & Innovation District. This week, the Community Appearance Board approved the “Give a Child Some Paint” project submitted by the City of Myrtle Beach. The mural’s location will be on the south-facing wall at 522 Broadway Street, adjacent to a vacant lot.
When complete, the art installation will show a child using paint to add color to trees. It represents the city’s belief that, when provided creative tools and support, children make the world a more beautiful and loving place. The mural design was created in concert with the building’s owner.
Myrtle Beach city staff will paint the mural, beginning sometime in mid-October. Since we aren’t artists, the mural will use a “paint by number” format. For more details, contact Brian Schmitt with the City of Myrtle Beach’s Downtown Development Office at bschmitt@cityofmyrtlebeach.com.
