This mural at 12165 Boulevard Rolland in Montréal-Nord is the work of Julian Palma and Sergio Gutiérrez, completed in 2020. It is one of the street-art pieces found in the borough, and it makes a simple stop for anyone interested in public art in Montreal.
About the mural
The piece was produced under the Programme d'art mural (volet 2), a City of Montreal initiative, and carried out through Artistes en arts visuels du Nord de Montréal (AAVNM), a local collective of visual artists. Its presence on a busy boulevard means it is seen by people going about their day, rather than only by visitors who come looking for it.
Planning a visit
The mural is an outdoor work, so it can be seen at any time, and it is best approached on foot or from a vehicle along the boulevard. The City of Montreal maintains an online record for the mural, which lists the artists and the production details and is a useful reference before you go.
