The Street Art of Montréal

8/30/2011

As readers of this blog know, I am in Montréal, Québec for several weeks. And as I've made my way around this fascinating city I've been struck by the number of creative wall murals and other street art scattered around town. From back alleys, to apartment walls to building facades, to the very sidewalks under your feet - art is everywhere in Montréal.

So today I've put together a small sampling of the open air gallery encountered daily here.

Hey Udey, you looked at my blog last week. I'm returning the favor.

Your layout is impecable and I like the content of your blog, the writing style in particular.

I was in Montréal earlier this year on a long layover and these street scenes were my favorite part. I'm happy you've decided to share them. Have you seen the church façade with anarchist graffiti on it that leads into another building? I believe off of Rue Sainte Catherine.

I'm sure I'll be visting again soon!
