This mural by Monk.E is a street-art piece on Boulevard Henri-Bourassa Est, at number 147, in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough of Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2020 and is listed in the city's public mural records, which makes it a straightforward stop for anyone interested in the city's outdoor art.
What to know before you go
- Artist: Monk.E
- Year: 2020
- Location: 147 Boulevard Henri-Bourassa Est, Ahuntsic-Cartierville, Montreal
- Program: Produced under the Programme d'art mural (volet 2), in partnership with Prévention du crime Ahuntsic-Cartierville
The commission sits within a municipal program that supports murals in the community, so the work is tied to a local initiative rather than standing alone as a private project. Visitors interested in that context can consult the city's mural listing for further details.
The visit
Because the mural is an outdoor work on a busy boulevard, it suits a short, self-guided visit. It is best viewed on foot, from the sidewalk, and is a reasonable addition to a walk through the borough. Ahuntsic-Cartierville is a residential and commercial district in northern Montreal, and a stop here can be combined with time spent exploring its streets and local shops.
If you are planning a wider day of street art in Montreal, this piece gives a useful look at how public murals are commissioned and placed in the city's neighbourhoods.
