There's new art to discover at the Brampton Soccer Centre! 🎨⚽ Four new large-scale murals are now on display, each sharing a unique perspective on sport and its connection to the community. Meet the artists and discover the stories behind the murals: Spirit of Sports | Jieun Kim & Phillip Saunders 🎨 Toronto-based artists Kim and Saunders combine their distinct styles to capture the energy of competition. Their mural features athletes playing soccer and basketball alongside volleyball and pickleball, with Kim's imaginative dragons and Saunders' expressive sports figures adding a playful twist. After the Bell | Megan Oldhues 🎨 Toronto-based muralist and former Mayfield Secondary School visual arts student Megan Oldhues revisits childhood memories, celebrating the friendships formed through sports and the lasting memories of camps and recreation programs. Huddle | Kellen Hatanaka 🎨 GTA-based Japanese Canadian artist Hatanaka explores identity and belonging through sport. His mural captures a familiar moment for athletes: the team huddle, a symbol of teamwork and connection. Moment of Impact | Paul Glyn-Williams 🎨 For Brampton-raised artist Paul Glyn-Williams, this mural is personal. Growing up in Heart Lake and Springdale, he spent much of his childhood playing sports at school and in local recreation spaces. Today, he creates large-scale murals across Canada and internationally. His latest work is a tribute to his Brampton roots and an opportunity to give back to the city where his artistic journey began.
