This mural by the artist Michelle Hoogveld is found at 2050 rue Mansfield, in the Ville-Marie borough of Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2021 as part of the city's Programme d'art mural, volet 1, a public art programme that brings murals to the urban fabric of the city.
About the work
The mural was funded through the Entente sur le développement culturel de Montréal, carried out in partnership with MURAL, the organisation behind much of the city's street art. Its presence on a building facade makes it an easy piece to encounter while walking, rather than a work you need to seek out inside a gallery.
What a visit offers
- A short, self-guided stop for those interested in contemporary street art in Montreal.
- A chance to see how public art is commissioned and integrated into everyday city streets.
- An easy addition to a walk through the surrounding Ville-Marie area, which is one of the city's central districts.
Because the mural is an outdoor work on a street address, a visit is best treated as a stroll rather than a scheduled outing. Travellers can combine it with other sights in the neighbourhood, and the city's own mural listing offers further details on the piece and its artist.
