This mural by the artist Gleo sits on the facade at 3614 rue Saint-urbain, in the Le Plateau-Mont-Royal borough of Montreal. It was created in 2019 and is one of the street-art works that make the neighbourhood's walls part of the visit.
About the work
The mural was produced under the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 1). Its funding came through the Entente sur le dรฉveloppement culturel de Montrรฉal, a partnership between the City of Montreal and the Government of Quebec. The work is listed on the city's public mural registry, which gives it a record of its own.
What to expect
- Type of visit: a short, outdoor stop on foot, best combined with a walk through the surrounding streets.
- Location: rue Saint-urbain, in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, a residential and commercial district of central Montreal.
- Who it suits: visitors interested in street art and public art, or anyone exploring the city's neighbourhoods beyond the main sights.
Because the mural is an outdoor work on a building facade, there is no entry fee or ticket to plan for. The area around it offers the relaxed pace of the Plateau, with its local shops, cafรฉs and tree-lined side streets, so the mural can easily be one part of a longer walk.
For the city's own record of the work, the public mural page for this piece is listed on the City of Montreal website.
