This mural by Zek One, painted in 2018 with the collaboration of KOLAB, covers the chalet of Parc Poirier in the Saint-Laurent borough of Montreal. It is one of the works produced under the city's Programme d'art mural, a public art initiative that brings murals to neighbourhood sites across Montreal.
What to expect
- Location: 900 rue Trudeau, on the chalet of Parc Poirier, Saint-Laurent, Montreal.
- Kind of visit: a short street-art stop, best combined with a walk through the park.
- Artists: Zek One, with KOLAB, 2018.
- Setting: a public park, so the mural is open to passers-by at any time the park is accessible.
Around the mural
Because the mural sits on a park building, it suits a relaxed outing rather than a destination visit on its own. Visitors can spend time in the park itself and look at the mural as part of the surroundings. The Saint-Laurent borough offers further neighbourhood sights and services nearby, and Montreal's wider street-art scene, including other murals in the city's public art programme, is easy to explore for those who want to see more.
