Step into the world of vibrant colors and inspiration on the outer wall of the LB Scott Sports Auditorium in Philipsburg, where a breathtaking mural has found its home. This magnificent piece of art was organized by Kooyman, a company dedicated to fostering creativity and positivity within our community. The talented local artist and designer, Zillah Duzon Hazel, poured her heart and soul into this incredible work of art, which beautifully captures the essence of St. Maarten and the promise of new opportunities as the sun rises each day.
Nestled in the heart of Philipsburg, this mural serves as a beacon of hope and an ode to the beauty that surrounds us. It’s more than just paint on a wall; it’s a testament to the enduring spirit of our island. But it’s not just the location that makes it special; it was carefully chosen to inspire our youth who tackle new challenges every day through sports. The LB Scott Sports Auditorium is a landmark in a great location, making it the perfect canvas to reach diverse audiences and spread the message of positivity and creativity.
This mural is just the beginning of Kooyman’s new Paint Campaign, a movement to ignite creativity and bring out the artist in all of us. The painting process, which took place from September 11th to the 18th, was a testament to the power of community and art coming together. And as the final touches are added, with the Kooyman and NSI logos, it will become a symbol of unity and inspiration for generations to come.
