This mural sits at 2215-2217 rue Joliette in Montreal, Canada, tucked into the Sansregret alley at the back of the building. Its location means it is best found on foot, by wandering the lane rather than passing along the main street.
The work was created in 2016 by the artist A'Shop, also known as Fonki. It was produced in partnership with Y'a QuelQu'un l'aut'bord du mur (YQQ) as part of the City of Montreal's Programme d'art mural, the second strand of the programme. The city's public records list it under the name "Murale située au 2215-2217, rue Joliette (dans la ruelle Sansregret, à l'arrière)".
What to expect
This is a street-art piece, so the visit is an outdoor one: a short walk, a look at the wall, and a chance to see how a laneway can become a place of public art. Because it is set back in an alley, it suits visitors who enjoy discovering work away from the usual routes.
Making a day of it
- Combine the stop with other street art and walking routes in Montreal.
- Allow time to explore the surrounding neighbourhood on foot.
- Check the City of Montreal's mural listing for further details about the work before you go.
