Mapped has just released a list of the most instagrammable neighborhoods for street art in the world and we are delighted that Montreal’s Plateau neighborhood made the list. Street art is an important part of our art scene in Montreal and a form of art that is very much celebrated. This is what Mapped had to say about Montreal’s Plateau neighborhood:
As the festival capital of the world, Montreal was not about to leave out the Mural Festival. Drawing artists from around the world to create masterpieces, this 11-day festival paints the town with photogenic works of art. Stroll around Saint-Laurent Boulevard for the best spots, and don’t forget to check out the massive painting of Leonard Cohen.
We encourage all our EC Montreal students to check out the various Montreal neighborhoods and to make sure that Le Plateau is on their bucket list. It is such a fun neighborhood filled with one-of-a-kind shops, restaurants and cafés.
