This mural at 1211, rue Saint-Mathieu in Montreal is a piece of street art painted in 2017 by A'Shop, a collective whose members are listed in the record as Benny Wilding, Five 8 and Earth Crusher. It is one of the works in the city's public mural records and sits in the Peter-McGill area of the city.
About the work
The mural was organized by Éco-quartier Peter-McGill (SAESEM) as part of the Programme d'art mural, volet 2, a city programme that brings murals into neighbourhoods. The record gives the year, the artists and the organizing body, and it is the programme that connects the work to its place on the street.
Planning a visit
- Location: 1211, rue Saint-Mathieu, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
- What to expect: an outdoor artwork on a building wall, best seen on foot as part of a walk through the surrounding streets.
- More information: the City of Montreal keeps a detail page for the mural, which lists the artwork under the name "Murale située au 1211, rue Saint-Mathieu".
Because the mural is on a street rather than inside a venue, there are no set opening hours to plan around. A visit can easily be combined with other walks in the neighbourhood, and the city's mural page is a useful place to check the artwork's details before you go.
