This mural by the artist Mr Crocks is a street-art piece in Montreal, Canada, painted in 2018 on a building at 3375 A St-Zotique Est. It sits in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough, a residential district on the city's east side, where the wall can be seen from the street as part of everyday neighbourhood life.
The work was produced under the city's Programme d'art mural, second component, in partnership with SODER, the organisation that supports the development of Montreal's public art. For visitors, it is a good example of how the city has brought large-scale painting into local streets, rather than confining it to a single gallery or museum.
What to expect
- Type of visit: a short walk-by stop, best combined with a stroll through the surrounding streets.
- Location: 3375 A St-Zotique Est, Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, Montreal.
- Artist and year: Mr Crocks, 2018.
- More information: the City of Montreal's mural listing for this work is available on the city's website.
Because the mural is an outdoor piece on a working street, it is worth approaching with the same courtesy you would show any residential area. It pairs well with other murals and neighbourhood sights in the borough, so a visit can easily become a relaxed half-day exploring the area on foot.
