A NEW mural has been created to inspire young players at Emersons Green Junior Football Club.
Bristol-based artist Charis Ayla Cocke created the design, incorporating the club’s badge and two young footballers, in the clubhouse at Walkers playing field, off Blackhorse Lane, over two days at the end of September.
Charis said: “I wanted to make something fun and inclusive. I enjoy art practices that shy away from elitism, focusing on collectivism and creating a sense of community instead of isolating the audience.”
Club chairman Stu Russ said: “The mural Charis not only designed but painted highlights the unifying spirit of football, showcasing the energy, teamwork, and dedication that the sport embodies at Emersons. It is a fantastic piece of art and a great addition to our club and we can’t thank Charis enough for her time and contribution, to not only our club but this community.”
