21 great art pieces from the first week of MURAL Fest (PHOTOS)

Saint-Laurent’s flagship MURAL festival is a telling sign that summer has unofficially arrived in Montreal.

The street-side art fest brings together world-class visual artists and musicians who collaborate for a cultural celebration in the heart of Montreal’s Boulevard Saint-Laurent

Not to mention a coinciding tasty food festival.

For its seventh edition, MURAL Fest has tweaked a few of its past customs. The 2019 edition has broken away from its traditional creative medium, the painted wall, by supporting a larger number of creations in diverse media, such as digital platforms and original materials.

The facade of buildings, roads, parking lots, and public spaces have been taken over by immensely talented international and local artists, turning The Plateau into a massive urban art playground.

If you haven’t had a chance to check out the annual art fest, here’s a collection of spectacular art pieces from MURAL fest from the virtual world. The festival takes place on Saint-Lo until this Sunday, June 16.
