Cardel Rec South Mural
Antyx teamed up with Cardel Rec South for a one-of-a-kind mural project that took place during the end of 2023 and beginning of 2024.
More than 20 youth ages 12-18 joined us in creating a stunning mural that is on display at the recreation centre for all to see!
About the Mural Project
The mural project was an incredible opportunity to showcase the creativity of Shawnessy youth and make a lasting impact in the community.
Antyx teamed up with the Cardel Rec South to bring a one-of-a-kind mural project that ignited the passion of our participants for art, painting, and design.
We had over 20 youth join us on this exciting journey. We believe that the mural represented that art has the power to bring people together, inspire change, and transform spaces. This mural project was an incredible platform for youth to express their unique voices, unleash their imagination, and collaborate with other passionate youth.
Our participants had the opportunity to learn from our talented facilitatros, expand ther artistic skills, and gain hands-on experience in mural painting and design. We discovered new techniques, experimented with different styles, and developed a deeper understanding of the creative process. Not only did we contribute to a visually stunning mural, but we also created memories, friendships, and built a sense of accomplishment that will last a lifetime.
Together, we created a masterpiece that inspires, uplift, and leave a lasting impression on our community.

When I heard about the mural I was immediately intrigued and wanted to know more. From the start I knew it would be an incredible opportunity, and I was correct.
Throughout the duration of the mural I was able to learn more about my own beliefs, gain a new skill, and reconnect with close friends I no longer see often. My goal when going into the mural was to assist in creating something that could make someone smile or feel like they aren’t alone, and I wholeheartedly believe we accomplished that. Our mural symbolizes the uniqueness in every one while also showing us the sameness we all have. I will be forever grateful for being apart of something that brought people together and will continue to do so for the near future.

About the Facilitator
Makayla
Makayla has been involved with Antyx since she was in Grade 9! Makayla found her passions at a very young age when she discovered volunteer opportunities and the ability she had to create change in her community. She always found ways to express her devotion to art whether it be music or visual and incorporate it into her learning and advocacy journey.
She believes art is a way to express your voice on social justice issues and explore topics like human rights through community building. She likes to inspire youth and children to challenge themselves and step outside of their comfort zone with different art forms such as theatre, painting, music, and poetry while working hand in hand with social workers to still implement important social justice into their day-to-day lives. She is currently a student at Mount Royal University.
