This mural by A'Shop, also known as Fluke and Ankh One, was created in 2016 on a wall at 3562 rue Sainte-Catherine Est, in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough of Montreal. It is a work of street art, and a visit makes a short, easy stop for anyone interested in the city's public art.
About the work
The mural was produced under the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 2), a municipal programme for public murals. It was commissioned for La Table de quartier Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, a local neighbourhood roundtable, which links it to the community it stands in. The wall is on a busy commercial street, so it is best seen on foot, at a comfortable pace, as you walk past.
Visiting
- Location: rue Sainte-Catherine Est, Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Montreal
- Kind of visit: a quick walk-by stop, suited to a casual look rather than a long excursion
- Further details: the City of Montreal's mural database has a dedicated page for the work
Because the mural is an outdoor work on a street, there is no admission to pay and no set opening hours. Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve is a residential and commercial area on the east side of the city, so you can combine the stop with a stroll through the surrounding streets and shops.
