Le Lave-Auto
MURAL Fest may be done, but this art installation is here for keeps.
A Montreal car wash has undergone a complete transformation as part of the seventh edition of the street art festival.
World-renowned urban artist Joshua Vides, who is known for making real-life 3D objects appear as simple 2D black and white sketches, applied his signature treatment to a Mercedes-Benz A-Class and Lave-Auto Laurier, 40-year-old car wash at the corner of Saint-Urbain and Laurier.
It’s totally Instagram worthy.
When: Thursday, July 18
Where: 85 Avenue Laurier Ouest
Time: 8 am – 6 pm (until 7 pm on Thursday – Sunday)
