In a significant cultural and community development move, Myrtle Beach City Council endorsed a collaborative agreement with Coastal Carolina University (CCU) for the establishment of a new performing arts center. This decision was finalized in a council meeting on Tuesday, ushering in a new era of arts and innovation for the city.
The partnership involves a lease and operations agreement, ensuring CCU will play a central role in the management and programming of the center. Located strategically on Main Street in the heart of Myrtle Beach’s ArFlo arts & Innovation District, the venue will situate itself between notable landmarks like Winna’s Kitchen and Sun City Café.
This new hub will cater to a variety of cultural events, including theater, music, and dance performances. Furthermore, it will serve academic functions, civic meetings, and host other significant events. The directive states that Myrtle Beach will handle the typical landlord responsibilities such as maintenance related to the structure or exterior of the building.
The agreed initial lease term between Myrtle Beach and CCU spans five years, with an option for extension. While specific details regarding the commencement of construction are yet to be announced, the finalized agreements pave the way for preliminary planning and execution phases.
This development is expected to not only enhance the cultural landscape of Myrtle Beach but also stimulate economic growth by attracting tourism and providing a state-of-the-art venue for various high-profile events. The city anticipates that this strategic investment will serve as a catalyst for further downtown revitalization and position Myrtle Beach as a destination for cultural excellence along the East Coast.
The establishment of the performing arts center in collaboration with Coastal Carolina University is a milestone in Myrtle Beach’s ongoing efforts to enrich community life and promote its cultural assets. Stay tuned for future updates on this exciting development.
