MURAL is a nonprofit organization based in Montreal, whose mission is to make street art more accessible. It produces MURAL Festival, a public art festival that takes place alongside Montreal’s Saint-Laurent Boulevard every year in June. The festival features large murals, musical shows, digital installations, and technology-centric exhibitions. MURAL also produces works and special events throughout the year, both in Montreal and other areas of Quebec.
MURAL is celebrated as a key player in the promotion of urban art in all its shapes and forms and has been awarded multiple prizes, among which the Grand Prix du tourisme de Montréal (2014, 2016, 2019), the Prix Idea (2021), the Grand Prix du design (2022), and the Sponsorship Marketing Award (2022).
Place à l’art urbain!
“Le Festival Mural, c’est l’occasion de découvrir des œuvres urbaines et de prendre part à des activités créatives dans une ambiance festive et animée. Année après année, depuis sa première édition, en 2012, il permet à des artistes issus de différents horizons de faire valoir leur talent et de laisser leur marque dans la métropole. Reconnu dans le milieu des arts visuels, Mural est un rendez-vous qui contribue à enrichir l’offre touristique de Montréal et à affirmer son positionnement comme destination culturelle de choix.
Nous souhaitons de belles découvertes à tous les festivaliers et festivalières!”
