Empowering Artistic Expression: Monk.e’s Vision
Collaborative Mural: Youth Empowerment and Artistic Endeavors
Entre le Poisson et le Verseau stands as a testament to the collaborative effort spearheaded by Canadian artist Monk.e. Engaging closely with local non-profits, Centre Le beau Voyage and Zone jeunesse du Y du Parc/CJS Mile-End, Monk.e orchestrated a series of seven prevention/mural art workshops. These sessions were designed not only to impart artistic skills but also to advocate against illegal graffiti while promoting alternative creative forms.
Engaging the Community: A Platform for Awareness
At 277 Laurier St West, Montreal, Monk.e channeled his artistry through paint, latex, and spray paint. This vibrant and thought-provoking mural epitomizes Monk.e’s approach, resonating with the collaborative spirit of Montreal’s vibrant artistic scene. His work symbolizes the amalgamation of artistic expression and community engagement, fostering awareness and encouraging the exploration of art as a constructive outlet.
Connecting Through Art: The Impact
Monk.e’s initiative not only brightened the physical landscape but also served as a catalyst for youth engagement and awareness. By offering a platform for artistic expression, he empowered the younger generation to channel their creativity positively, guiding them towards avenues of self-expression that inspire and captivate.

Through collaboration, he melds art with community engagement, cultivating a narrative that echoes the aspirations of Montreal’s artistic youth and speaks to the city’s cultural vibrancy.
I am a mural enthusiast and a fervent admirer of street art. Rather than creating murals myself, I am passionate about collecting them. My love for street art knows no bounds. I am dedicated to curating and cherishing these artworks that grace the streets. My collection stands as a testament to my profound appreciation for this form of artistic expression.
