Artists help shape a new cultural hub in northeast Montreal

Montreal murals brighten the Metropolitan underpass and seed Saint-Michel's arts hub See how this pilot project is shaping a new cultural destination in northeast Montreal

Montreal artists have painted murals beneath the Metropolitan Expressway as part of an early pilot project in SaintMichel, aiming to help define a new cultural hub in the neighbourhood. The outdoor gallery is expected to expand as part of ongoing efforts to develop the Quartier des arts du cirque, a district focused on circus arts and creative activity. The project adds public art to an underpass area while supporting the growth of a local arts destination in northeast Montreal.
