This mural by the artist Jimmy Beaulieu stands at 8670 25e avenue, in the Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension borough of Montreal. It is a piece of street art, so the visit is simple: you come to the wall, look at the work in its setting, and continue on.
About the work
The mural was created in 2022 as part of the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 2), in partnership with the Ligue des droits et libertés. The city's public mural listing for the work is the best place to find further details, and it is also known under the French name "Murale située au 8670 25e avenue."
Visiting the area
- The mural is a good stop for anyone interested in public art across Montreal's neighbourhoods, rather than only in the downtown core.
- Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension is a residential part of the city, so it suits a walk that looks beyond the main tourist streets.
- Pairing it with other murals in the city makes for a varied outing on foot or by public transit.
Because the mural is outdoors and open to the street, there is no admission to plan for. It is best suited to a visitor who enjoys looking at contemporary art where it is displayed and who wants to see how the city's neighbourhoods are animated by their walls.
