Standing on top of the Dubai Frame, jumping across giant mushrooms, experiencing a winter forest full of wolves or standing on a wooden sky bridge above Dubai's skyline.
These are some themes - considered rather imaginary - that visitors will come closer to experiencing during the Dubai Canvas 3D Art Festival starting on Thursday in the North beach of La Mer.
The newest destination in Jumeirah is currently underway to have its walls and pavements transformed into colourful 3D displays, bringing together 30 international and local artists to create 45 unique optical illusions. The artists got their paint and brush ready on Monday to begin working their magic and get it all ready for public view on Thursday.
Ayesha bin Kalli, project manager at Dubai Canvas, said five permanent 3D murals will be painted across La Mer as part of the fourth edition of Dubai Canvas that continues until March 7.
"Most of the artwork this year has been inspired by the location. La Mer means 'sea' in French, and this year's artworks revolve around nature and the sea," said Kalli.
The festival that previously coloured the pavements and walls of City Walk and JBR will see over 10 objects at La Mer transforming into art pieces, making the place a street art destination. "People can expect benches, manholes and other objects to be so fancy that they won't be able to tell they are original objects," said bin Kalli.
From March 1-7, La Mer visitors will also be able to enjoy live 3D sand art on the beach every morning, daily evening movie screenings, and adult and children workshops.
Dubai Canvas is a public art festival organised by Brand Dubai, the creative arm of the Government of Dubai Media Office (GDMO). The annual event, launched in 2015, provides a platform for renowned artists from around the world to exhibit their creations in a public space.
