Held in June 2014, the second edition of Mural Festival transformed Saint Lawrence Boulevard into a veritable open-air studio and museum as 20 international muralists created works of public art on the facades of buildings around Montreal’s most historic boulevard.
A celebration of the creativity and democracy of urban art, Mural Festival features installations, films, music, performance, block parties, and after-parties throughout the four-day festival – but the festival’s most important legacy are the wall-size murals that remain for viewers’ pleasure throughout the year.
A winner of Quebec’s Grand Prize of Tourism, the inaugural Mural Festival in 2013 attracted more than 800,000 visits to the free festival. This year’s festival highlights the work of artists from Australia, France, Italy, Chile, Poland, Puerto Rico, the US, and Canada.
