This mural by Isabelle Leclerc is a street-art piece found in a back lane, or ruelle, at 2148, rue Beaubien in Montreal. It sits in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough, a residential part of the city where alleys often serve as informal galleries for local artists.
About the work
The mural was created in 2013 by Isabelle Leclerc. It was produced under the Programme graffitis et murales, a City of Montreal initiative run with SODER, the society responsible for the development of the area. The city's public mural records list it as a work in the official collection, which is why it is documented in detail online.
What a visit offers
- A short, easy stop for anyone interested in public art beyond the main museums.
- A view of how murals are integrated into the everyday streetscape of a residential neighbourhood.
- A natural addition to a walk along rue Beaubien, where you can explore local shops and cafés nearby.
Because the mural is in an alley rather than on a main street, it is best approached on foot, and it suits a relaxed visit rather than a long detour. Those who want to learn more can consult the City of Montreal's mural listing for this work.
