This mural at 50 rue Sainte-Catherine O. in Montreal is the work of the artist Roadsworth, created in 2021. It sits in the Ville-Marie borough, in the heart of the city, where the street itself is part of the experience of looking at it.
The piece was organized by MU and produced under the city's Programme d'art mural, second strand (volet 2). That programme places large-scale artworks on the walls of Montreal's built environment, so the mural is best seen as part of the city's wider public art life rather than as a single gallery object.

Around the mural
Rue Sainte-Catherine O. is one of downtown Montreal's main commercial streets, lined with shops, cafés and offices, so the mural fits naturally into a stroll through the centre. Visitors interested in more public art can use the city's own online listing for the work, which gives further details about the project and the programme behind it.
Because the facts available are limited, this is a visit best planned around the surrounding neighbourhood. It suits anyone already exploring downtown Montreal who wants to add a piece of contemporary street art to the route.
