This mural by Cécile Gariépy stands at 5820 boulevard Décarie in Montreal, in the Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough. It was created in 2019 and is one of the works recorded in the City of Montreal's public mural collection, which makes it a fitting stop for anyone interested in the city's street art.
About the work
The mural was produced under the Programme d'art mural (volet 1), run by MU. The project was financed through the Entente sur le développement culturel de Montréal, an agreement between the Ville de Montréal and the government of Quebec. Its presence on a busy boulevard reflects the city's wider approach of bringing art into everyday neighbourhood streets rather than keeping it indoors.
Planning your visit
Because the mural is on an outdoor wall, it is open to view at any time, and a visit usually takes only a short while. Keep in mind that the surrounding street is a main artery, so take care when stopping to look or take photographs.
