This mural at 1085 rue Tassé, in the Saint-Laurent borough of Montreal, is a street-art piece painted in 2022 by the artist Marc-Olivier Lamothe. It was created under the Programme d'art mural (volet 2), organized by MURAL, the city's mural programme.
What to expect
- Type of visit: an outdoor look at a public artwork, best seen on foot as part of a walk through the neighbourhood.
- Location: rue Tassé, in the Saint-Laurent borough, on the northern side of central Montreal.
- Art form: a large-scale mural, one of many works the city has commissioned through its public art programme.
Making the most of the trip
Because the mural is on a street, there is no entry fee or set schedule to plan around, and it can be seen at any time of day. Visitors interested in the wider context can consult the city's own page for the work, which gives its official record and details of the programme. Saint-Laurent is a borough of residential streets, workplaces and local shops, so a visit to the mural can easily be combined with a walk or a meal in the area.
If you are interested in Montreal's public art more generally, this piece offers a straightforward starting point: a single, dated commission by one artist, found in an ordinary street setting rather than in a gallery.
