A stunning new mural inspired by the diverse local community has been officially unveiled at Dugdale Arts Centre (DAC) in Enfield.

Created by London-based artist Alec Saunders, the artwork was uniquely crafted using unwanted paint donated by residents at North London Waste Authority’s recycling centres, showcasing both creative sustainability and community spirit.

The mural, which now adorns a tiered seating area inside the DAC, celebrates the rich cultural heritage and diversity of Enfield, capturing the unique identities, histories, and vibrant communities that shape the borough.

The newly transformed space is used regularly for a variety of activities, including children’s events, arts and craft workshops, film screenings, and live performances, and the mural now brings a bold and colourful backdrop to every gathering.

Speaking about his inspiration, Saunders said the piece is a tribute to the people of Enfield, designed to spark connection, dialogue, and pride in the local area. His use of repurposed paint adds an eco-friendly dimension to the project, highlighting the creative potential of recycled materials.

Visitors are warmly invited to view the mural in person at Dugdale Arts Centre, 39 London Road, Enfield (EN2 6DS).
