Manhattan Avenue Mural to Debut in February
The display is second in the Hermosa Beach Murals Project's initiative to complete 10 local murals around town in 10 years.
A mural on the corner of Pier and Manhattan avenues that depicts early-1900s Hermosa Beach is nearing completion, the Hermosa Beach Murals Project announced Tuesday.
An unveiling ceremony has been set to take place Feb. 11 from 2:30 to 5 p.m at 200 Pier Ave.
Local artist Chris Coakley was selected to paint the mural, which depicts a young woman throwing a bucket of paint onto the wall. The paint then forms a picture of Hermosa Beach from many years ago.
