This mural by the artist Zek One stands at 6645 avenue Somerled in Montreal, in the Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough. It was painted in 2021 and is one of the street-art works in the city's public collection of murals.
About the work
The mural was produced by Prévention Côte-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce as part of the city's Programme d'art mural, second component. Its appeal for a visitor lies in the way a painted wall can change the feel of an ordinary street, turning a stretch of avenue Somerled into a place to stop and look.
Planning a visit
- Location: 6645 avenue Somerled, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
- Type of visit: a short, open-air stop, best suited to walking up to the wall and taking your time with it.
- More information: the City of Montreal's mural listing for this work is available at ville.montreal.qc.ca, under the detail page for mural 259.
Because the mural sits on a residential and commercial street rather than inside a museum, it works well as part of a longer walk through the borough, where you can combine it with other sights and shops along the way.
