Canettes de Ruelle 2024

This image gallery brings together photos of all the pieces created for the 8th edition of Canettes de Ruelle. This 2024 edition was the biggest so far, with over 70 walls painted.

Mural Festival 2024

This article features the new murals created during the 2024 edition of Mural Festival, as well as the temporary art found on the site (St-Laurent between Sherbrooke and Mont-Royal) while it was closed to traffic from June 6th to 16th.

Eight earlier Festival murals have been replaced with new ones in 2024. These are the Dalkhafine and Egle Zvirblyte murals from the 2023 edition, Caroline Monnet’s mural from the 2022 edition, the Bryan Beyung mural from the 2019 edition, the LSNR, Marc Sirus and Jeremy Shantz murals from the 2018 edition and the Aydin Matlabi and Miss Me collaboration from the 2017 edition.

Two murals from past editions were also updated and restored. These are the Scan and Axe mural from the 2014 edition and the Tyxna mural from the 2022 edition.

You may want to check out this walking tour map connecting all Mural Festival creations and other major murals in the area.

Huit anciennes murales du Festival ont été remplacées par de nouvelles en 2024. Celles-ci sont les murales de Dalkhafine et Egle Zvirblyte de l’édition 2023, la murale de Caroline Monnet de l’édition 2022, la murale de Bryan Beyung de l’édition 2019, celles de LSNR, Marc Sirus et Jeremy Shantz de l’édition 2018 ainsi que la collaboration entre Aydin Matlabi et Miss Me de l’édition 2017.

Deux murales d’éditions passées ont aussi été restorées et mises à jours. Celles-ci sont la murale de Scan et Axe de l’édition 2014 ainsi que la murale de Tyxna de l’édition 2022.

Vous êtes invités à jeter un coup d’oeil à cet itinéraire pédestre reliant toutes les murales produites dans le cadre de toutes les éditions du Festival ainsi que les autres créations majeures dans le même quartier.

Une décennie de Mural

2024 marked the 10th anniversary of Mural Festival, and for the occasion a photo expo was put together inside a giant paint can. The photos, supplied by Wall 2 Wall Montreal, represented murals from past editions painted by local artists. Here’s a few outside and inside shots of the expo.

2024 marquait le 10ème anniversaire du Festival Mural, et pour l’occasion une expo photo était organisée à l’intérieur d’un pot de peinture géant. Les photos, fournies par Wall 2 Wall Montréal, représentaient des murales des éditions précédentes peintes par des artistes locaux. Voici quelques photos extérieures et intérieures de l’expo.

Retrospective of 2024 pasted street art and installations

This image gallery brings together 100 pieces of Montreal street art from 2024 that were created in a studio, then pasted, glued, screwed in or cemented into a public place. It is not necessarily the best of the year because taste is a subjective thing and I was obviously not able to photograph everything. The selection was done partly from my own personal favourites but mostly from those of my followers on Instagram. Of course this list was put together from what I was actually able to photograph, so keep in mind that it may lack some great work that just slipped between the cracks.

The pieces are shown here in alphabetical order of artist name. To ensure that the list wasn’t filled with only work from a few popular artists, I have set a maximum of 4 pieces per person. Collaborations by two or more artists count as one entry.

Cette galerie-photo présente 100 pièces de street art produites en 2024 à Montréal, créées en studio avant d’être collées, vissées ou fixées dans le ciment dans un endroit public. Cette liste n’a pas la prétention d’être un best of de l’année puisque les goûts sont personnels et je n’ai évidemment pas eu la chance de tout photographier. La sélection s’est faite en partie parmi mes pièces favorites, mais surtout parmi les préférées de mes abonnés Instagram. Cette liste a bien sur été créée à partir de ce que j’ai eu la chance de trouver et de photographier, ce qui signifie que quelques chef d’oeuvres de 2024 pourraient ne pas y figurer.

Les pièces apparaissent ci-dessous en ordre alphabétique de nom d’artiste. Pour que cette liste ne soit pas totalement accaparée par quelques artistes populaires, j’ai fixé un maximum de 4 pièces par personne. Les collaborations entre deux ou plusieurs artistes ne comptent que pour une entrée.

The pieces are shown here in alphabetical order of artist/crew name. To ensure that the list wasn’t filled with only work from a few popular writers, I have set a maximum of 3 pieces per artist. Collaborations by two or more artists under one common theme count as one entry.

Cette galerie-photo présente 200 pièces de graffiti produites en 2024 à Montréal. Cette liste n’a pas la prétention d’être un best of de l’année puisque les goûts sont personnels et je n’ai évidemment pas eu la chance de tout photographier. La sélection s’est faite en partie parmi mes pièces favorites, mais surtout parmi les préférées de mes abonnés Instagram. Cette liste a bien sur été créée à partir de ce que j’ai eu la chance de trouver et de photographier, ce qui signifie que quelques chef d’oeuvres de 2024 pourraient ne pas y figurer.

Les pièces apparaissent ci-dessous en ordre alphabétique de nom d’artiste/crew. Pour que la liste ne soit pas totalement accaparée par quelques graffeurs populaires, j’ai fixé un maximum de 3 pièces par personne. Les collaborations entre deux ou plusieurs artistes sur un même thème ne comptent que pour une entrée.

Breaking Walls / Meeting Of Styles 2023

Breaking Walls is an urban arts and culture festival that took place on the weekend of 23-25 June 2023. This edition, hopefully the first of many, was actually a joint event with Meeting Of Styles, the first Canadian MOS event in over a decade.

The photo gallery below features everything that was painted during the weekend. It is divided into 4 different sections, one for every one of the ‘campuses’ where people painted: the main area in the perimeter between Rouen, Moreau, Ontario and the train track; Moreau south of Ontario; de Rouen west of the tunnel; Florian between de Rouen and Hochelaga. A fifth section features a few pieces done in or around the main area but not officially on the programme.

Breaking Walls est un festival urbain d’art et de culture qui a eu lieu le week-end du 23 au 25 juin 2023. Cette édition, espérons-le la première d’une longue série, était en fait un événement conjoint avec Meeting Of Styles, le premier événement MOS canadien depuis plus d’une décennie.

La galerie de photos ci-dessous présente tout ce qui a été peint pendant le week-end. Elle est divisée en 4 sections, une pour chacun des “campus”: la zone principale dans le périmètre entre Rouen, Moreau, Ontario et la voie ferrée; Moreau au sud d’Ontario; de Rouen à l’ouest du tunnel; Florian entre de Rouen et Hochelaga. Une cinquième section présente quelques pièces réalisées dans, ou autour de la zone principale mais qui n’étaient pas officiellement au programme.

It is not necessarily the best of the year because taste is a subjective thing and I was obviously not able to photograph everything. The selection was done partly from my own personal favourites but mostly from those of my followers on Instagram. Of course this list was put together from what I was actually able to photograph, so keep in mind that it may lack some great work that just slipped between the cracks.

The pieces are shown here in alphabetical order of artist/crew name. To ensure that the list wasn’t filled with only work from a few popular artists, I have set a maximum of 4 pieces per artist. Collaborations by two or more artists count as one entry.

Cette galerie-photo présente 100 murales et autres pièces de street art peint créées en 2023 à Montréal. Cette liste n’a pas la prétention d’être un best of de l’année puisque les goûts sont personnels et je n’ai évidemment pas eu la chance de tout photographier. La sélection s’est faite en partie parmi mes pièces favorites, mais surtout parmi les préférées de mes abonnés Instagram. Cette liste a bien sur été créée à partir de ce que j’ai eu la chance de trouver et de photographier, ce qui signifie que quelques chef d’oeuvres de 2023 pourraient ne pas y figurer.

Les pièces apparaissent ci-dessous en ordre alphabétique d’artiste/crew. Pour que la liste ne soit pas totalement accaparée par quelques artistes populaires, j’ai fixé un maximum de 4 pièces par personne. Les collaborations entre deux ou plusieurs artistes sur un même thème ne comptent que pour une entrée.

Retrospective of 2023 pasted street art and installations

This image gallery brings together 100 pieces of Montreal street art from 2023 that were created in a studio, then pasted, glued, screwed in or cemented into a public place. It is not necessarily the best of the year because taste is a subjective thing and I was obviously not able to photograph everything. The selection was done partly from my own personal favourites but mostly from those of my followers on Instagram. Of course this list was put together from what I was actually able to photograph, so keep in mind that it may lack some great work that just slipped between the cracks.

The pieces are shown here in alphabetical order of artist name. To ensure that the list wasn’t filled with only work from a few popular artists, I have set a maximum of 4 pieces per person. Collaborations by two or more artists count as one entry.
