Watch them painting the town 'real' with colours

Dubai - The artists will create and display their work at the Dubai Canvas 3D Art Festival to be held in City Walk from March 1 to 7

Come March, Dubai's City Walk will turn into a 3D-lovers' haven as artists from around the globe descend on to paint the town with colours.
The artists will create and display their work at the Dubai Canvas 3D Art Festival to be held in City Walk from March 1 to 7.
The event features the works of 25 international artists, considered to be pioneers of the emerging 3D art form. They will start working on their creations at City Walk during the week preceding the festival, from February 22-28, giving the public an invaluable opportunity to watch them at work.
Ayesha bin Kalli, project manager of Dubai Canvas 2017, said these are artists "whose work has expanded the possibilities of 3D art" and inspired many other artists across the world.
Dubai Canvas 2017 is organised by Brand Dubai, the creative arm of the Government of Dubai Media Office (GDMO), in partnership with Meraas, one of Dubai's leading holding companies. The Dh2.3 million Dubai Canvas 3D Art Award saw a total of 122 entries from 35 countries. Artists who submitted proposals for the Award represent almost 80 per cent of the global community of 3D artists.
The 25 artists shortlisted for the final round of the award will display their creations at the Dubai Canvas 3D Art Festival to be held in March. A jury comprising of renowned international and local artists will evaluate the 25 shortlisted artworks to select three winners for the award. The winners will be honoured at a ceremony to be held at the Festival. There will also be a 'People's Choice' award based on votes from the public.
