Call for artists: work with us to celebrate Kevin Campbell’s legacy

Kevin Campbell at ArsenalFC and Everton FC
Lambeth Council’s Business, Culture and Investment team is excited to be partnering with The Kevin Campbell Foundation (kevincampbellfoundation.com) on a landmark mural celebrating the life and legacy of Kevin Campbell – an iconic figure in English football and a proud son of Brixton.
Kevin Campbell was a dynamic striker whose 19-year professional career spanned top clubs on the national and international stage including the England national team, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, Everton, and West Bromwich Albion. Born in Brixton, Kevin’s journey from local talent to national star embodies the spirit of resilience, excellence, and community pride. Affectionately known as “Super Kev,” his powerful presence on the pitch and infectious smile made him one of the most beloved figures in English football.
This mural will serve as a lasting tribute to Kevin Campbell’s legacy and a celebration of Brixton’s vibrant Black communities. We are seeking bold, imaginative designs that transform a prominent landmark in Brixton Town Centre into a visual and cultural focal point.
The collaboration will also include the iconic Morleys Department Store, which has stood as a landmark in Brixton for over 100 years, which will host the artwork on its walls.
A budget of £20,000 + VAT is available through the generosity of the Foundation to develop and deliver the mural.
We are inviting artists and designers from across London to submit proposals for this opportunity by 26th April 2026.
