This mural by Melissa Del Pinto stands on a building at 3501 rue Jeanne-Mance, at the corner of Milton, in Montreal. It was created in 2019 and sits in the Le Plateau-Mont-Royal district, one of the city's best-known residential neighbourhoods for street life.
About the work
The mural was realized under the Programme d'art mural, volet 2, run by MU, the Montreal organization that commissions public art on walls across the city. It is one of many murals that give the city's streets their colour, and it is best seen on foot, where the scale and the setting can be taken in together.
Planning a visit
- Location: the corner of rue Jeanne-Mance and Milton, in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal.
- Type of visit: a short, free stop, suited to a walk through the neighbourhood.
- Nearby: the surrounding streets are lined with cafés, shops and other murals, so the mural works well as part of a longer wander.
- More information: the City of Montreal publishes a detail page for this mural, listed under its public art register.
Because the mural is outdoors, it can be viewed at any time of day, though daylight gives the clearest view of the colours and details.
