This mural at 1535-1537 rue Notre-Dame sits on a building in Lachine, a borough on the southwest edge of Montreal, Canada. It is a piece of street art created by Artducommun in 2015.
The work was produced in partnership with Maison des Jeunes l'Escalier de Lachine, a youth centre, as part of the city's Programme graffitis et murales, a municipal programme that supports murals and graffiti art across Montreal. The mural is listed by the City of Montreal, which keeps a public record of its murals, so visitors can look up further details there.
What to expect
Street murals like this one are best seen on foot, at street level, where the scale and colours of the painted surface can be appreciated. A visit suits anyone interested in urban art, neighbourhood life or the way public programmes bring artists into local communities.

Around the mural
Lachine is one of Montreal's older residential and waterfront boroughs, with a main street and a canal area that many visitors combine with a walk through the neighbourhood. Because the mural is a single stop in a borough rather than a destination in itself, it works well as part of a wider afternoon exploring the area on foot.
