This mural by Alex Snipes stands at 10155 boulevard Saint-Michel, in the Montréal-Nord borough of Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2019 and is listed as one of the city's public murals, so it makes a straightforward stop for anyone interested in street art and the neighbourhoods where it appears.
About the work
The mural was realized under the Programme d'art mural (volet 2), a City of Montreal initiative carried out with AGC Art Public, known as Artgang. Murals in this programme are part of a wider effort to bring public art into everyday streets, and this one sits on a busy commercial boulevard rather than in a gallery or park.
Visiting
- Address: 10155 boulevard Saint-Michel, Montréal-Nord, Montreal
- Kind of visit: a short walk-by viewing of an outdoor artwork
- More details about the mural are listed on the City of Montreal's public murals website
Because it is an outdoor piece on a street, you can see it at any time the street is open. Allow a few minutes to look at it properly, and consider combining it with a wider walk through the area, as Montreal's public murals are often spread across several neighbourhoods and can be seen together on one outing.
