Giving Life to Montreal’s Tallest Mural with MU

Montreal is renowned for its vibrant art scene, and MU is elevating it with an innovative project set to shine a light on one of the city's most iconic artistic treasures. The 'Damiers 2023' mural, inaugurated last October, is about to become even more captivating.

The project's vision is ambitious yet profoundly symbolic: to infuse life into the mural through advanced lighting techniques and video projections. These elements are not just meant to illuminate the mural but to create an immersive experience, showcasing the diverse works of Françoise Sullivan. As one of Canada's most versatile artists, Sullivan's mastery spans across multiple disciplines, including painting, sculpture, and dance. This multimedia approach aims to mirror her multidisciplinary prowess, making the mural a symbol of artistic innovation, visible and mesmerizing both during the day and at night.

In a show of support for this cultural endeavor, we have stepped in with a contribution from our private collection. Art of Canada has donated one of Françoise Sullivan's most renowned works, the 'Red Only No. 1' painting. The artwork was auctioned off, and the response was nothing short of extraordinary. Garnering over 50,000 CAD$, the auction set a new record for the highest sale price ever achieved for a work by Sullivan. This milestone is a testament to the artist's enduring legacy and the community's deep appreciation for her contributions to the arts.

Art of Canada's involvement in this project reflects our unwavering commitment to the arts. By facilitating this auction, we not only honored Françoise Sullivan's remarkable career but also reinforced our mission to promote and nurture artistic talent. This initiative is perfectly aligned with our core values: celebrating creativity, fostering community engagement, and enhancing public spaces through art.
