This mural by the artist Pantonio stands at 111 rue Roy Est, in Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2015 and is listed among the works of the city's street-art programme, the Programme graffitis et murales, organized with Santropol Roulant, a community organization in Montreal.
What to expect
The mural is a street-art piece, so it is best seen as a stop on a walk rather than a destination in its own right. Visitors who enjoy public art will find it a simple way to see how the city has welcomed murals onto its streets through a programme that brings artists and community groups together.
Around the mural
- The address is on rue Roy Est, in the east of the city centre, so it can be combined with other walks in the area.
- The city of Montreal maintains an online record of its murals, which lists this work and gives further details for those who want to learn more before going.
- Because the piece is outdoors, a visit costs nothing and can be fitted in at any time of day, with the light affecting how the colours appear.
Is it worth the trip?
If you are already exploring Montreal and enjoy street art, the mural is a short and easy detour. It is less suited to visitors who want a long stop or a sheltered indoor experience. For more information, the city's mural listing for this work is the most direct source.
