This mural by Artducommun sits on a street corner in Montreal, at the junction of Sainte-Catherine and Champlain streets in the Ville-Marie borough. It is a piece of street art, painted in 2008, and it makes a short, easy stop for anyone already walking through the area.
About the work
The mural was produced under the Programme graffitis et murales, with the SDC du Village as the organising body. Its presence on a busy downtown corner reflects the city's wider practice of bringing painted artwork onto public walls, where it can be seen by people going about their day rather than only by those who seek out a gallery.
What a visit offers
- A quick look at a large-scale public artwork, viewable from the street at no cost.
- A chance to see how Montreal uses its walls as a public art space.
- An easy addition to a walk through central Ville-Marie.
Because it is set on a street corner, the mural suits a passing visit rather than a long outing. Visitors who want more background on the piece can consult the City of Montreal's murals listing for it, which is available on the city's website.
Around the corner you will find the rest of the downtown core, with shops, cafés and transit within easy reach. Many visitors combine a look at the mural with a wander through the surrounding streets.
