We are the Arsenal, the official Arsenal Football Club art exhibition, kicked off its global tour on Jan 17 at Duoyun Bookstore in Shanghai.

As Arsenal's first licensed art showcase in its 139-year history, the exhibition presents the club's visual identity, history, and contemporary culture in a dedicated fine art exhibition.

All artworks on display are created by Hayden Bone, a skilled artist who is also a football enthusiast renowned for capturing and reinterpreting the spirit of sport through art.

The collection is divided into several series: the Crest Collection, the Team Collection, and the Player Collection. Each highlights a different facet of Arsenal — tradition, unity, individuality, and belonging — creating a visual narrative of the club's identity.

The exhibition also reflects the club's global reach and the shared passion of its supporters.

According to the organizers, artistic interpretation allows sports culture to evolve into a new model that engages diverse audiences, blending cultural experience with commercial potential, and creating fresh resonance within urban life and cultural tourism.

The exhibition runs until March 17.
