Leadership Grand Strand to Paint Mural in Downtown Myrtle Beach
March 11, 2021
In partnership with the City of Myrtle Beach Downtown Development Office, Leadership Grand Strand has announced that the current LGS Class 41 is painting a mural in downtown Myrtle Beach that residents & visitors can enjoy. We will also be installing some additional lighting for safety and ambiance.
Mural Design by Becky Boone (LGS Class XLI, Horry-Georgetown Technical College)
This project was made possible thanks to the generosity of South Atlantic Bank and Bank of America. Leadership Grand Strand Class XLI would like to thank Mr. Justin Plyler for supporting the project & providing the perfect location for the mural, Lauren Clever from the City of Myrtle Beach Downtown Development for her guidance, and Diana Greene from Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce for her leadership. We would also like to thank South Atlantic Monument Co., The Jackson Companies, Anderson Brothers Bank, Coastal Carolina National Bank, and Signarama of Myrtle Beach for their support.
Painting will begin March 12 and weather depending, we hope to be finished March 21. The mural will be on the side of the Gay Dolphin Building at 816 N Ocean Blvd., Myrtle Beach.
We hope this project will help in showcasing what a vibrant community we have.

“As the Director of the Downtown Development Office, we are excited for the Leadership Grand Strand (LGS) Class 41 Downtown Redevelopment Project and the continued partnership we have with the LGS Program. As the main focus for the DDO office is to continue in the revitalization of the downtown, we were excited that they wanted to do something in the downtown area and we were happy to assist the class to get this project from an idea to a reality. We look forward to seeing the final project.”

“Murals can have a surprising impact – they add a sense of belonging & safety without you even realizing it. This mural is only one of the projects that contribute to our 75+ hours of community service. LGS has been a great medium to learn hands-on about the variety of ways we can give back to the Grand Strand community.”
