Produced by MU and created by artist Arnaud Grégoire, World Paint is directly inspired by Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, where it is located, and its strong multiculturalism. The project is part of an on-going partnership established in 2007 between MU and the Montreal Municipal Office of Housing, as the mural can be found at the Habitations Boyce-Viau. It is only MU’s second project in the borough and its first outdoor large-scale mural.
Residents of the Habitations were invited to come paint on the mural for two days during its production.
