Mural by Meky Ottawa (2018) is a street-art work at 2330 avenue Lincoln in Ville-Marie, one of the central boroughs of Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2018 by the artist Meky Ottawa and produced under the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 2), in partnership with MU, the organisation known for bringing murals to the city's walls.
What to expect
This is an outdoor work, so a visit means walking to the wall and looking at it in its surroundings, at the street level where passers-by encounter it. Because it sits on an avenue rather than inside a gallery, it suits a short, unhurried stop rather than a long visit. Wear comfortable shoes and allow time to look at the piece from more than one angle, especially if you are walking the area on foot.
The area around it
Ville-Marie is the heart of Montreal, with a dense mix of shops, cafés, offices and cultural venues, so the mural is easy to combine with other parts of a day in the city. Montreal is well known for its street art, and this piece is one of many commissioned murals across the city, which makes it a good starting point for an informal walk looking at public art.
