This mural by the artist collective Artducommun is a street-art piece on the wall of a building at 410 rue Saint-Jacques, in the Lachine borough of Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2016 as part of the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 2), carried out for the Comité graffiti Lachine.
What to expect
- A large-scale work painted directly on a building facade, seen from the street.
- A short, easy stop for anyone already exploring Lachine on foot or by bike.
- Public art commissioned through a municipal programme, so it is part of a wider effort to bring murals into the neighbourhood.
Getting there
The mural is on rue Saint-Jacques, one of the main streets of Lachine, the western district of Montreal set on the shore of Lac Saint-Louis. Because it is an outdoor piece on a public street, you can view it at any time, though daylight will make the colours and details easier to see.
Around the mural
Lachine offers a relaxed contrast to the city centre. Visitors often combine a walk past the mural with time along the waterfront, the old town streets, and local cafés and shops. The area suits an unhurried half-day, and the mural works well as one stop on a broader walk through the borough.
