This mural by Mono Gonzalez stands at 205, rue Jarry Est, on a street in the Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension borough of Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2017 as part of the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 1), and it was financed through the Entente sur le développement culturel de Montréal, an agreement between the Ville de Montréal and the Government of Quebec.
What to expect
Street art of this kind is best seen on foot, in the streets where it was painted rather than in a gallery. This work is a fitting stop for anyone interested in how Montreal has invited artists to bring large-scale painting into its neighbourhoods. The mural is an outdoor piece, so it is viewed as part of the everyday street rather than behind a ticket counter.
Getting there and around
- Address: 205, rue Jarry Est, Montreal
- Area: the Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension borough, a residential part of the city
- Visit style: a short walk-by or photo stop, best combined with exploring the surrounding streets
Because the mural sits in a residential borough, it suits a relaxed stroll rather than a dedicated trip. Visitors interested in more of the city's public art can use the city's own mural listings to find other works nearby.
