We are excited to unveil Charleston’s GoodSpace Mural!
Greta McLain and her team at GoodSpace Murals have been working hard since FestivALL in June to create a colorful and vibrant mural that reflects the history and the people of the valley. As we close out FestivFALL, we will reveal this delightful masterpiece that is now on the side of the Lee St. Lounge at the corner of Lee Street and Leon Sullivan Way. In June 2021 Greta spent a week in Charleston, WV during FestivALL learning about the valley, our history, and our people to start shaping the mural that will be revealed. With every mural project, GoodSpace Murals promotes community development through the creation of works of art.
