Another premier of 2006 happened in Montreal – Canada. This city is famous for its liberal attitude and life-style. The Montreal Graf-scene is pretty vivid and has a long history of activities. |
| Several Jams in the past supported the scene and made it real strong. Be ready to see Graf from another spot in this world. |

The address is 1435 Bleury. The Metro stop is Place Des Arts, Autobus that can get there are 80, 129 and 24. |
The organization considers having successfully taken up the challenge or putting together an important artistic demonstration, over two days, in the heart of Montreal’s downtown area.
| For Crews that were painting, was 156, FC, TC5, NSA, HSA , CD, which include writers from France, Puerto Rico, Toronto, Montreal and New York City. The Jam started Friday, when many of the artists met at the location where the walls would be painted throughout the weekend, corner of Bleury and St-Catherine. |

Some knew each other, many were meeting for the first time. Artists from Puerto-Rico, Paris, New York, Boston, Toronto and Montreal took part in the event. After sketching out roughly what they would start to paint the next morning, they walked up St-Laurent to get their food and drinks. |
The BBQ event was really appreciated. Saturday and Sunday, the artists were buisy painting the walls. Despite the bad weather, more than 60 muralists worked seriously and with high professionalism. More than 6500 people came and watched them work.
 |
We must mention that there was a lot of action downtown, during the Labor Day weekend: Film festival, Musique Plus’ Open doors, back to school shopping. The music and visual impact of the Meeting Of Styles successfully caught the eye of the passer-by. |
| The evening events on Saturday and Sunday gave the occasion to the artists and party goers to meet and hang out. Saturday, a private party in a downtown loft ended early in the morning. Sunday, a poster exhibit presented by Sharpie closed this first edition of the event. |

We are proud of having organized a major gathering around the theme of graffiti culture, without any problems, in calm and creative atmosphere. We strongly wish to make it happen again next year. |
It will be most important to have better funding for the 2007 edition. We have established our credibility and wish for our project to prompt public organizations and private companies to help our inititives, and to benefit from the visibility we have to offer.
