Mural by Peru is a street-art work on the wall of a building at 6917 rue Saint-André, in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough of Montreal, Canada. Created by the artist Peru in 2021, it is one of the public murals found across the city, set on a residential street that a visitor can reach on foot as part of an unhurried walk.
About the work
The mural was produced by AGC Art Public, known as Artgang, under the city's Programme d'art mural, second component. The city's own record lists the work under the name Murale située au 6917 rue Saint-André, and the Montreal municipal site holds a detail page for it that gives further information on the piece.
What a visit offers
- A look at a large-scale mural in its everyday setting, on a working street rather than in a gallery.
- A chance to see how the city's public art programme places murals across its neighbourhoods.
- A short stop that combines well with a wider walk through Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie.
Because the work is outdoors, it can be viewed at any time, and it asks for no ticket or booking. Visitors interested in the background can consult the municipal page for the artwork, which lists the artist, the producing organisation and the programme under which the mural was commissioned.
Around the mural
The borough itself is a good reason to linger. Its streets are lined with homes and small shops, and the surrounding neighbourhood gives a sense of daily life in this part of Montreal. Anyone interested in street art may find that the mural sits well alongside the other public works scattered through the city.
