Canettes de Ruelle 2025

This image gallery brings together photos of all the pieces created for the 9th edition of Canettes de Ruelle. This 2025 edition was the biggest so far, with over 80 walls painted, involving more than 120 artists. As usual, it took place in the alleys between 5th and 9th avenues, from Masson to St-Joseph. The gallery below is roughly sorted from west to east, down the 5th/6th Avenue alley, up the 6th/7th, down the 7th/8th and up the 8th/9th.

See also: this illustrated map of all the current walls, that is the new ones as well as the older ones still visible.

Le festival s’est encore déroulé dans les ruelles entre la 5e avenue et la 9e avenue, de Masson à St-Joseph. La gallerie ci-dessous est présentée approximativement d’ouest en est, descendant la ruelle 5e/6e avenue, montant la ruelle 6e/7e, redescendant la 7e/8e et enfin remontant la 8e/9e.

Mural Festival 2025

This article features the new murals created during the 2025 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 5th to 15th.

Most of the new murals in 2025 were painted on walls having previously hosted Mural Festival murals. The lost murals are those of La Charbonne and of Jamie Janx from the 2024 edition, Guille from the 2023 edition, Danae Brisso’s creation from the 2022 edition, Denial from the 2020 edition, Jaz as well as Earth Crusher and Astro’s wall from the 2015 edition and finally Zoltan’s from the 2014 edition. The crew wall from 2024 was also completely redone.

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

Cet article présente les nouvelles murales créées lors de l’édition 2025 du Festival Mural, ainsi que les œuvres d’art temporaires retrouvées sur le site (St-Laurent entre Sherbrooke et Mont-Royal) alors qu’il était fermé à la circulation du 5 au 15 juin.

La plupart des nouvelles murales de 2025 ont été peintes sur des murs ayant déjà accueilli des oeuvres du Festival. Les murales perdues sont celle de La Charbonne et celle de Jamie Janx de l’édition 2024, Guille de l’édition 2023, Danae Brisso de l’édition 2022, Denial de l’édition 2020, Jaz ainsi que le mur de Earth Crusher et Astro de l’édition 2015 et finalement Zoltan de l’édition 2014. Le mur des crews de 2024 a aussi été complètement refait.

Retrospective of 2025 pasted street art and installations

This image gallery brings together 100 pieces of Montreal street art from 2025 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 2025 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 2025 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.

Retrospective of 2025 graffiti

This image gallery brings together 200 great pieces of Montreal graffiti from 2025. 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 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 2025 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 2025 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.

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.

Cet article présente les nouvelles murales créées lors de l’édition 2024 du Festival Mural, ainsi que les œuvres d’art temporaires retrouvées sur le site (St-Laurent entre Sherbrooke et Mont-Royal) alors qu’il était fermé à la circulation du 6 au 16 juin.

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.
