This mural, created by the artist collective Artducommun in 2016, stands at 1788 rue Terrasse Coursol in Montreal's Le Sud-Ouest borough. It is a piece of street art, and for visitors it makes a short, easy stop for anyone interested in how the city's public walls are used for art.
About the work
The mural was produced under the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 2), a municipal initiative for murals on public-facing walls. It was carried out in partnership with the Coalition de la Petite-Bourgogne/Quartier en santé, a local community organization, which ties the work to the neighbourhood it sits in.
What to expect
- Type of visit: a street-level look at a mural, best seen on foot as part of a walk through the area.
- Location: rue Terrasse Coursol, in Le Sud-Ouest, on the southwest side of central Montreal.
- Who it suits: visitors interested in street art, public art programmes, or the neighbourhoods beyond the main tourist core.
Because the mural is outdoors, it can be viewed at any time, and it pairs well with a wider exploration of the Le Sud-Ouest borough, where the streets combine residential blocks with local shops and cafés. More details about the work, including its record in the city's mural archive, are available on the Montreal municipal website.
