About
This mural by the artist A'Shop stands at 8105 rue Hochelaga, in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough of Montreal, Canada. It was painted in 2014 as part of the city's Projet pilote d'art mural, a pilot programme for public murals, and was produced in partnership with Y'a QuelQu'un l'aut'bord du mur (YQQ).
What to expect
The mural is a street-art piece set on a building wall along rue Hochelaga, so it is best seen on foot or from the street. It suits a visitor who enjoys looking at public art as they move through a neighbourhood, rather than one who needs a ticketed venue or a set schedule.
Around the mural
- The work sits in Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, an eastern district of Montreal, and can be combined with other walks in the area.
- Because it belongs to a city pilot programme, it is one of a series of murals across Montreal that can be explored together.
- The city's mural listing for the piece offers further details on the work and its context.
A short stop here fits well into a longer exploration of the borough's streets. Visitors interested in the wider mural scene can use the city's record for the piece as a starting point for finding nearby works.
