This mural by Benny Wilding stands on the wall of a building at 6542-44 rue Chateaubriand, in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough of Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2017 and is one of the works in the city's public art collection, a wall painting visitors can see on a walk through the neighbourhood.
About the work
The mural was painted by Benny Wilding and produced by AGC Art Public (Artgang). It was made under the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 1), a mural programme funded through the Entente sur le développement culturel de Montréal, the cultural development agreement between the city and the province. The work is listed in the City of Montreal's mural catalogue, which gives its own detail page for anyone who wants to read more about it.
What to expect
This is a street-art piece, so the visit is simple: you come to the wall, look at the painting, and take in the setting. It suits a short stop rather than a long outing, and it pairs well with an unhurried walk through the surrounding streets.

Around the mural
The mural sits in a residential part of the city, so it is best combined with a look at the neighbourhood itself. Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie is one of Montreal's many boroughs, and walking its streets is a good way to see how the city's public art is spread across everyday districts rather than concentrated in one place.
