This mural by the artist Rouks is painted on a building at 1193 rue Sussex, in the Peter-McGill area of Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2016 as part of the city's mural art programme, produced by the Éco-quartier Peter-McGill (SAESEM) under its second strand, the Programme d'art mural (volet 2).
What to expect
This is a street-art stop rather than an indoor attraction. Visitors come to see the artwork in its urban setting, on the street where it was painted, and it works well as a short walk within a wider exploration of the neighbourhood.
- Type: outdoor street art
- Artist: Rouks, working with A'Shop
- Year: 2016
- Address: 1193 rue Sussex, Montreal
Visiting the area
Because the mural stands on a city street, a visit takes little planning and can be combined with other walks in the surrounding district. Its location in Peter-McGill places it within reach of the downtown core of Montreal, so it suits a visitor who is already exploring the city on foot and wants to add a piece of contemporary public art to the route.
For further details on this and other murals in the city's programme, the official Montreal municipal page for the work is a useful reference.
