This mural by the artists Ankhone and Fuse stands at 6450 avenue Somerled, in the Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough of Montreal. It was created in 2023 and is one of the works that appear on the city's public mural listings, which makes it easy to find if you are already exploring the district.
About the work
The mural was commissioned by Prévention Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce as part of the city's Programme d'art mural, second strand (volet 2). The programme places commissioned murals on walls across the city, so this piece is best understood as part of a wider effort to bring street art into neighbourhood streets rather than as an isolated landmark.
What a visit offers
- A street-level look at contemporary mural art, close to where people live and move about.
- A short stop that fits easily into a walk through the area.
- Context from the city: the municipal listing for the work gives details of the artists and the commissioning body, useful if you want to learn more before or after you go.
Getting oriented
Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce is a residential borough on the western side of Montreal's central mountain, and avenue Somerled is one of its local streets. Because the mural is a public work on a building wall, it can be seen at any time, without a ticket or a fixed opening period. Visitors interested in Montreal's street art may pair it with other murals elsewhere in the city, while those who prefer a quieter outing can treat it as a short detour within a neighbourhood walk.
