The mural Alegría produced by MU and created by artist Julian Palma has not only beautify the building, but also provided the Bloomfield Park users with a window on public art. It’s the third mural produced by MU in the Parc-Extension neighbourhood.
The colorful aesthetics of Julian Palma’s artwork, both vibrant and contemplative, are perfectly suited to the “Convergence of Cultures” theme, the preferred artistic direction for MU’s mural projects in the Villeray-St-Michel-Parc-Extension borough since 2007. The hand represents solidarity and cooperation between the peoples of different cultures.
