This large mural at 9200 rue Notre-Dame, in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough of Montreal, is a work of street art created in 2023 by the Collectif MAHKU. It was organized by SBC art contemporain and funded through the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 1), part of the Entente sur le développement culturel de Montréal.
What to expect
The mural is an outdoor, public artwork, so it can be seen at any time, on foot or from the street. It suits a short walk rather than a long visit, and it is a good stop for anyone interested in how Montreal commissions art for its neighbourhoods. The facts available here do not describe the imagery in detail, so it is best to view the piece in person and form your own impression.
Getting there and around
- Address: 9200 rue Notre-Dame, Montreal, Quebec
- Area: Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, an east-end district of the city
- Visit type: Free, outdoor street art
Because the mural sits in a residential and working neighbourhood, it pairs well with a wider exploration of the east end, where other public artworks and local shops can be found nearby.
For the official record and photographs, the City of Montreal lists the work on its public art pages at ville.montreal.qc.ca.
