Archie Fineberg Author/ Photographer
In 2007 Archie Fineberg, a seasoned business executive, became enchanted by the art in Montreal’s streets and alleys. This fascination led to extensive exploration and photographing of these works, a gallery exhibition and eventually the publication of books and PowerPoint presentations. The latest phase of this passion has found expression in the creation of tour maps.

En 2007, Archie Fineberg, un cadre d’affaires chevronné, a été enchanté par l’art dans les rues et ruelles de Montréal. Cette fascination a conduit à une exploration et une photographie approfondies de ces œuvres, une exposition en galerie et, éventuellement, la publication de livres et de présentations PowerPoint. La dernière phase de cette passion a trouvé son expression dans la création de cartes de randonnée à pied.

Thank you again for the splendid presentation you delivered . . . describing Montreal's Street Art Gallery . . .Your research into Montreal's unique artistic works and graffiti is impressive and the explanations and observations you made during the presentation were exemplary. Through your lecture, you showed how vibrant and topical street art can be, and how available it is to all citizens."

“Fineberg explored the city of Montreal end to end for his book, which documents the ephemeral art that decorates the sides of our buildings, crumbling walls and overpasses.”
Julie Anne Pattee, The Montreal Gazette, Aug 25 2017
Absolutely sensational presentation of Street Art in Montreal. I have already taken advantage of some of your wonderful maps and descriptions to see these works close up
