Delaware North-owned-and-operated TD Garden, in collaboration with TD Bank, on May 8 unveiled a new mural by 2025 TD Garden House Artist Massiel Grullón.
Launched in January 2023, the TD Garden House Artist initiative celebrates and empowers local artists from underrepresented New England communities.
As part of Access the Arts, powered by TD Bank, the initiative strives to broaden access to arts and live entertainment. With TD Garden’s naming rights extended through 2045, TD Bank has pledged over $15 million to community programming, reinforcing its commitment to cultural enrichment and support.
Massiel Grullón, a Boston-based Dominican muralist and designer, was selected because of her portfolio’s mix of large-scale murals, engaging line work and her style’s sense of movement and progress. Her work specializes in retro-nostalgic murals for diverse spaces, including corporate, public, retail, healthcare, residential and educational settings.
“We are incredibly excited to welcome Massiel Grullón as our 2025 TD Garden House Artist,” said Glen Thornborough, president of TD Garden and chief operating officer of the Boston Bruins. “After receiving hundreds of applications from talented local artists, Massiel stood out for her unique artistic vision and her ability to create meaningful connections. This year, we asked our artist to focus on a Women in Sports theme, and Massiel’s interpretation – brought to life with vibrant colors, dynamic movement and powerful imagery – embodies the strength, resilience and empowerment that define women’s lasting impact on both sports and entertainment.”
Grullón’s mural will honor the legacy of women in sports, highlighting their strength, determination and resilience. Featuring dynamic and empowering imagery, the mural will capture the essence of female athletes who have broken barriers and inspired future generations.
“The art piece, Women in Sports, is a tribute to strength, movement and visibility,” Grullón said. “Creating this artwork for TD Garden was an honor. I wanted the design to celebrate women across all levels of sports – from pros to fans – while reflecting energy, unity and pride.”
