This mural sits at 915 rue Notre-Dame in Lachine, a borough in the southwest of Montreal, Canada. It is a piece of street art that was created in 2017 by the artist collective Artducommun.
The work was organized by Maison des Jeunes l'Escalier de Lachine, a youth centre in the area, and it forms part of the city's Programme d'art mural, a public art programme that brings murals to neighbourhood walls. This is the second phase of that programme, which gives the piece a place in Montreal's wider open-air art scene.
Who it suits
A visit here is best suited to people who enjoy street art and want to see how a community project looks on a real building wall. Because the mural is on a residential street rather than in a gallery, it works well as part of a relaxed walk through Lachine, where you can see the work alongside everyday neighbourhood life.
Around the mural
- Lachine itself, a historic district on the Lac Saint-Louis shore with its own character and streets to explore.
- Other murals in Montreal, which the city catalogues through its public art pages.
- The wider city, easily reached for a day that combines public art with museums, neighbourhoods and food.
For details on the artwork and its background, the City of Montreal's mural listing at ville.montreal.qc.ca/murales/detail/149 is the most direct source. Since the mural is outdoors on a street, a visit requires no tickets and can be fitted into a short stop.
