A new project to promote Montreal art and culture was launched last December to the delight of passengers and the entire YUL community.

A mural nearly six metres evocative of the city’s lively alleys with its vibrant patterns and colours was painted by artist Cécile Gariépy.  Declined in two visuals, the mural can be admired in the transborder zone near gate 79.

This initiative allows passengers and employees to travel to Montreal through the art of this Quebec artist who has already created other eye-catching urban murals in Montreal. It’s no coincidence that the artwork evokes the city’s alleys: they are emblematic of Montréal’s history, culture and art. They irrigate our city and demonstrate our MONTREALitude. Both in summer and winter, these spaces are very popular places for residents and tourists alike.

The project came to life thanks to the YULArt program, launched earlier this year, which aims to promote the work of local artists and is meant to enhance the passenger experience.
