This mural at 270 boulevard Saint-Joseph in Montreal is the work of Artgang, the artist known as Alexis Masella, and was created in 2018. It sits on the premises of the Maison des Jeunes l'Escalier de Lachine, a youth centre, and was produced under the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 2), the municipal mural art programme.
What to expect
This is a street-art stop rather than a destination in itself. It suits a short walk for anyone interested in murals and urban art, and it can be seen from the street without entering any building. The wall is a reminder of how Montreal has invited artists to bring painted work into everyday neighbourhoods.
