When I took the class at Les Grands Ballets which is next to Jarry Metro, I noticed the art and was completely mesmerised by the colors and brightness it gave to a place that once lacked any kind of imagination. What a difference it made! Labrose, the graffiti artist took a space and transformed it into something beautiful and admiring to see.
I think the projects do benefit greatly the city not only by enhancing the look but by providing income to artists (more than 850k since 2007). They have had direct involvement with 5000 young people via school, after school, extracurricular and community youth organizations and have created more than 60 jobs for the next artistic generation. They are always on the lookout for talented artists so don`t hesitate to send your CV and portfolio. If you would like to donate your time, MU is a small charitable non-profit organization that can always use and appreciate gifted individuals (graphic artists, translation, photography, video, etc.).
The MU vision is ``to bring new life to the walls of the city with murals that are vibrant, eclectic and diversified, evoking emotions on every street corner and allowing us to see Montreal in a different light``.
