This mural by the artist Jasmin Guérard-Alie stands at 250 48e avenue in the Lachine borough of Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2021 and is one of the works produced under the city's Programme d'art mural, volet 2, which supports murals across Montreal's neighbourhoods.
About the work
The mural was organized by Maison des Jeunes l'Escalier de Lachine, a youth centre in the borough, and it sits on a street-facing wall where passers-by can see it without going inside any building. Because it is a street-art piece, the visit is simply a walk to the address and a look at the wall.
Planning a visit
A stop here suits anyone already exploring Lachine, or those interested in public art in Montreal. Visitors may find it useful to:
- Check the city's mural page for the work, listed under the number 240, for background on the project.
- Combine the stop with a walk through the surrounding streets of the borough.
- Allow a short visit, since the mural is viewed from the street rather than from an indoor space.
Lachine is a borough on the southwestern edge of the island of Montreal, and a mural visit fits well into a relaxed day of looking at the neighbourhood, its streets and its public art. Those who enjoy seeing how a community commissions and displays art on its own walls will find this a fitting place to pause.
