This mural at 623, rue Woodland in Montreal is a street-art work painted in 2017. It was created by A'Shop, the duo of Ankh One and Benny Wilding, and organized by KOLAB as part of the city's Programme d'art mural, second strand (volet 2). It is one of the many murals that the programme has brought to the streets of Montreal.
What to expect
This is an outdoor attraction, so a visit means a walk along the street to see the wall itself. The mural is listed by the City of Montreal, which keeps a public record of its murals, and that record is a useful place to find more detail about the work and its commission.
Getting there and around
- Address: 623, rue Woodland, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
- Kind of visit: a short, self-guided look at a public artwork
- Suits: visitors interested in street art, public art programmes, or simply exploring Montreal's neighbourhoods on foot
Because the mural is outdoors and in a residential-style street setting, it pairs well with a wider walk. Montreal is known for its wide range of street art, and seeing one commissioned work often leads to finding others nearby.
If you are planning a trip to Montreal with an interest in urban art, this mural makes a quick and easy stop, and it gives a clear picture of how the city's public art programme supports artists working on its walls.
