Dubai Canvas — La Mer

The fourth edition of Dubai Canvas took the festival to La Mer, where public artworks were presented within the beachfront destination. Organised by Brand Dubai in collaboration with Meraas, the programme brought together more than thirty international and local artists.

Three-dimensional painting and other approaches to street art appeared along the routes through the site. The open setting allowed visitors to move between works, watch artists and discover how perspective, surface and viewpoint can change an image.

SAN Projects produced the festival, coordinating artist participation with installations and educational activities for different age groups. The commission brought the practical requirements of a multi-artist event together with a format in which the public could encounter both the finished artwork and the process behind it.
