This mural at 200 rue Legendre Ouest in Montreal's Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough is a piece of street art painted in 2023 by Nicole Boyce, LNX and Projet Tyxna. It was organized by Prévention du crime Ahuntsic-Cartierville and created under the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 2), a municipal programme that commissions murals on public-facing walls.
What to expect
- Location: 200 rue Legendre Ouest, in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville district of northern Montreal.
- Type of visit: a short, outdoor stop, best combined with a walk through the neighbourhood.
- Background: the work belongs to a municipal mural programme, so it sits within a wider effort to bring art into everyday streets.
Because the mural is part of an urban neighbourhood rather than a gallery, it is seen as part of daily life, with the surrounding streets forming the setting. Visitors interested in Montreal's public art can treat it as one stop among others in the city's murals collection.
