Proceeds from this memorable art show will benefit Relay for Life and support victims of human trafficking, making this a night where art truly makes a difference.

Furry Friends on the Scene

And if you’re an animal lover, you’re in luck! Myrtle Beach High School students will also host an animal adoption event during the ArtWalk at Nance Plaza. This is a perfect chance to maybe find a new furry friend to take home while soaking in the creative atmosphere!

Art and Entertainment Galore

The festivities will kick off at 5 p.m. and run until 8 p.m., so there’s plenty of time to explore the creative offerings. Not only will downtown businesses transform into art galleries for the evening, but you’ll also get to enjoy local artists and musicians showcasing their work and talents.
