WHAT? An exhibition of photos of Montreal’s murals
WHEN? Vernissage on Thursday, February 14 from 6 to 9pm; exhibition open on February 16, 17, 23 and 24 from 11am to 4pm
WHERE? Espace Les Neuf Soeurs, 1900 Wellington St., Point St. Charles
McGill architecture professor Pieter Sijpkes is known amongst his students and colleagues for living in a landmark bank building at the corner of Wellington and St. Madeleine in Point St. Charles. More than just his home, though, Sijpkes has turned that building into Espace Les Neuf Soeurs, a multipurpose space where he has hosted plays, music, parties and art shows.
This Thursday, and on the two weekends after that, Les Neufs Soeurs will host “Montreal’s Outdoor Museum,” an exhibition of photos by Archie Fineberg of murals in Montreal. You can see the photos this Saturday and Sunday, as well as the weekend after that, from 11am to 4pm, but you might want to check out the vernissage this Thursday.
You can see more of Fineberg’s photos at the Gazette, which has a slideshow.

Howdy!
But it would be even nicer if the artists who made the murals were credited.
Zeke,
A point well taken.
Photographer Archie Fineberg and I have been working hard to identify each and every one of the murals, and many of the works have been credited already. Anyone who is in the know about wall art, please come visit the show and help us identify them all.
