This mural at 2633 rue Ontario Est in Montreal is the work of artist Ruben Carrasco, created in 2020. It is one of the street-art pieces in the city, found on a building in the Ville-Marie borough, in the east of the downtown core.
The mural was organized by the IPAF Festival and produced under the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 2), a public art programme that brings murals to Montreal's streets. Its listing in the city's records gives the artist, the festival and the year, which makes it a clear point of reference for anyone interested in how the city's walls are used for art.
What to expect
Because this is an outdoor work on a street address rather than a venue with set hours, a visit is simple: you walk to the wall and look at the piece in person. It suits a stroll through the area, especially if you are already exploring the streets of Ville-Marie, where you can find other public art and the everyday rhythm of the neighbourhood.

Ontario Est is a practical street to explore on foot, and the surrounding area offers the mix of shops, cafés and residential streets typical of east-downtown Montreal. Pairing the mural with a walk through the neighbourhood makes for a relaxed half-hour or more.
