“Next time you kiss, do it in French” –
Unfortunately we missed Mural Festival in Montreal this year – an urban art exhibition described by the organisers as a “love letter from Montreal to the world”. The output is thrilling, it’s electrifying, and it’s provocative. Fortunately, we had our very own local resident and Montreal aficionado, Simrit, show us around some of the incredible pieces in town. We recommend checking out the area around Saint-Laurent Boulevard, and La Petit Patrie (Plaza Walls) as a starting point. Here is a selection of our favourites:
