A work of art completed during Mural Fest, Montreal’s annual summer citywide mural painting spree, a mission to make art accessible to all on the walls around Saint-Laurent Boulevard. Art by @fluke.art .

If you’re wondering what Jackie Robinson has to do with #Montreal - before he broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball by playing for the Dodgers, Robinson broke the color barrier in the minor leagues playing for the Montreal Royals.

Other murals erected around town celebrate even more historic Montreal figures, including Leonard Cohen.

P.S. when you find street art abroad, always make an effort to look up and credit the artist in any pictures you share. They added beauty to the city, give back with a simple shout out 😊.
