This is a mural at 1955 rue Saint-Jacques in Montreal's Le Sud-Ouest borough, a street-art piece painted in 2017. It was created by the artist collective Artducommun and organized by the Coalition de la Petite-Bourgogne/Quartier en santé, and it forms part of the city's Programme d'art mural, second component (volet 2).
What to expect
- Type of visit: a short stop on foot, best suited to those interested in public art and neighbourhood murals.
- Location: on rue Saint-Jacques, in Le Sud-Ouest, a borough on the southwest side of the city centre.
- Context: the mural belongs to a municipal programme that places artworks on building walls across Montreal, so it can be seen alongside other pieces in the same neighbourhood.
Around the mural
Because the mural sits on a city street, the most rewarding way to see it is to combine it with a walk through the surrounding streets of Le Sud-Ouest. Visitors can explore the area at their own pace, look for other murals nearby, and enjoy the everyday life of the neighbourhood.
