This mural, painted by the artist Monk.E in 2020, stands at 500 Boulevard Henri-Bourassa Ouest in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough of Montreal. It is a piece of street art, so a visit means walking up to a wall on a busy city boulevard and taking the work in where it is found.
About the work
The mural was produced as part of the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 2), a public art programme, and was carried out with Prévention du crime Ahuntsic-Cartierville. The artwork is credited to Monk.E and the local crime-prevention organisation, and the city's own record for it is available online for anyone who wants more detail.
Planning your visit
- Location: Boulevard Henri-Bourassa Ouest, in Ahuntsic-Cartierville, on Montreal's north side.
- Type of visit: An outdoor street-art stop, suited to a short walk or a detour on the way to somewhere else in the area.
- More information: The City of Montreal's mural listing for this work, number 226, gives the official record.
Because the mural is outdoors and on a main road, it is best seen in daylight, and it is a good idea to keep an eye on traffic when stopping to look at it. Ahuntsic-Cartierville is a residential borough with a mix of neighbourhood streets and commercial avenues, so the mural can be combined with a wider exploration of the area on foot or by transit.
