Mural Fest may have ended, but the impact it left on the city will stay here for the foreseeable future. The 7th edition ended last week and brought us 12 murals, one light installation (no picture of this due to it being LED lights) and an abandoned car wash turned into an art playground. The festival may have been smaller, but it brought many amazing walls. Talking to some people who live here and tourists who come to Montreal yearly feel that this years edition was the strongest one. This update will showcase the murals made this year as well as some artworks made in alleys and other murals made independent from the festival.

Scaner “Can do” alley artworks: alleyway in dedication to Alex Scaner: various local artists

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get pictures of all the artworks due to how busy the alley is with pickup trucks or cars parking/leaving the area.

9. Brian Beyung’s mural: Unfortunately already tagged

10. Germ Dee’s mural

11. Joshua Vide’s transformation of an abandoned carwash on Laurier West

12. Insane 51’s insane 3D mural for this year.

Although Mural Festival wrapped up, more murals are being painted all over the city. Every year, at least 100-150 art pieces pop up all over the city, turning Montreal into an open-air art gallery and showcasing how we are and will always be a world leader in street art.
