Technically and artistically, the Sherbylove mural was the most difficult one that the crafters from the MURIRS group had to achieve. The team dedicated three months of work to it.
The hashtag #Sherbylove was born from a love story in May 2011. After two Montreal bloggers came to explore one of Sherbrooke’s tours, one of them captured the spirit of her stay with a single word: Sherbylove.
Today, this giant heart brings that word to life—a tribute to a generation that, in the age of social media, keeps downtown’s heartbeat alive while honoring its past, when Wellington Street was the place to be in Sherbrooke.

The painters had to go down the scaffold ten to twelve times a day (141 steps) to contemplate the work from a different angle, this throughout the hot days of summer 2016.
In the lower right, the artists added a spot for Madame Bou, a mythical figure downtown, deceased in February 2016.Known under the name of « Madame Bou », Francine Lafond used to say « Boo! » to the people hanging downtown.
Madame Bou was well-known and loved, especially among the youth.
