Bancroft Mural

Bancroft Elementary School in the Plateau  and Principal Gaetano Sifoni were absolutely thrilled to announce that thanks to Carla Batista  and the Cycle 2 and 3 French teachers, Mme Geneviève and Mme Sandra, they were able to invite Philippe Mastrocola, a Montreal born artist, through the Artists Inspire grant to work on two different murals with the students, enriching the French arts curriculum.

Phillippe has worked in many schools in Montreal bringing to life so many different art projects. Although in his artistic life, Philippe had the chance to experiment his craft in multiple places, from Montreal, to New-York City, Miami, Chicago, Detroit and Mexico he gives us the impression that working in Montreal schools with students is one of his favorite things to do.

He is quite inspiring, and we cannot wait for the Bancroft community to see all that he creates alongside our students and staff! Stay tuned for all the artwork coming their way!
