This mural at 2045, rue Beaudry in Montreal is a street-art piece painted in 2017 by the artist Carlos Oliva. It sits on the side of a building in the city's Quartier des spectacles area, where many of Montreal's public artworks can be found, and it is easy to reach on foot as part of a walk through the neighbourhood.
What to know before you go
- Artist: Carlos Oliva
- Year: 2017
- Organiser: MU, under the city's Programme d'art mural (second component)
- Address: 2045, rue Beaudry, Montreal
The mural was commissioned through the Programme d'art mural, the City of Montreal's scheme for public murals, which is why it appears in the city's own catalogue of murals. Visitors interested in the background can find an official record of the work on the City of Montreal's website, where the mural is listed under its address.
Making the visit
A visit here is best treated as a short stop rather than a destination in itself. Because the wall is outdoors on a city street, it can be seen at any time of day, and it works well alongside other murals and cultural venues nearby. Allow a few minutes to look at the painting closely and take in the surrounding street, then continue exploring the area on foot.
Dress for the weather if you plan to walk the neighbourhood, as Montreal's climate varies greatly across the seasons.
