This mural by A'Shop sits on a street corner in Montreal, at the junction of Décarie and Sherbrooke streets, in the Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce area. It was created in 2012 and is one of the works supported by the city's graffiti and mural programme, carried out in partnership with the local prevention organisation Prévention Côte-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce.
What to expect
This is a street-art stop rather than an indoor attraction. You see it from the pavement, so it suits a short walk, a photo stop or a look at how murals fit into everyday neighbourhood life. It is most useful to visitors already interested in public art, or to anyone curious about the way Montreal has brought artists into its streets through an official programme.
Around the corner
- Côte-des-Neiges and Notre-Dame-de-Grâce are residential districts with a strong community character, good for wandering on foot.
- The mural's location at a busy intersection makes it easy to combine with other errands or sightseeing in the area.
- Further murals and street art can be found across Montreal, which has a long tradition of commissioned public artwork.
For more details on the work, the city of Montreal keeps an information page on the mural, available through its public art listings.
