Businesses in the revitalized Avondale Point area of West Ashley (located at the intersection of Savannah Highway and Magnolia Rd.) have come together to hold a mural contest and art walk. This Wednesday from 6 until 9 p.m., Avondale Point businesses invite the public to stroll through the stores, enjoy art and discounts and cast your vote for the Avondale Point mural!

The mural contest sought designs for the south-facing tower over the Children’s Cancer Thrift Store. Entries will be displayed at Alchemy Coffee for public voting until 8 p.m., and the winning mural will be announced at 9 p.m. View the Facebook event for more info here, and read an article from Post & Courier about the contest and Avondale Business District here.
