The Brentwood Community Association in Calgary has recently added a vibrant touch to their neighborhood by commissioning a colorful mural to liven up a grey wall. The mural, which was completed by local artist Sarah Jane, has quickly become a beloved addition to the community.
The idea for the mural came from the community association’s desire to beautify the area and create a sense of pride among residents. After receiving approval from the city, the association reached out to Sarah Jane, known for her bold and eye-catching murals, to bring their vision to life.
The mural, titled “Brentwood Blooms,” features a variety of colorful flowers and plants, representing the diversity and growth of the community. It also includes a quote from poet Maya Angelou, “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”
According to Sarah Jane, the quote was chosen to inspire and uplift the community, reminding them of the beauty that can come from overcoming challenges and embracing change.
The project was made possible through the support of local businesses and community members, who donated funds and supplies to help bring the mural to fruition. The Brentwood Community Association is grateful for the overwhelming support and hopes that the mural will continue to bring joy and positivity to the neighborhood for years to come.
Residents have already expressed their appreciation for the mural, with many taking to social media to share photos and positive comments. The Brentwood Community Association hopes that the mural will not only add beauty to the neighborhood, but also serve as a symbol of unity and community spirit.
The association plans to continue working with local artists to bring more public art to the community, with the goal of creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere for all residents and visitors.
