The Middle East's first three-dimensional pavement art festival, starring works by international artists that appear to rise from the ground, kicked off this week in Dubai. Kurt Wenner, creator of the 3-D pavement painting technique, said the setting of Dubai provided a "wonderful" chance to incorporate art into the city's ever-expanding landscape. "What happened in Dubai as far as I can tell is that the concentration of vision has been architectural and I think they're still working on how they're going to be incorporating the visual arts," he told AFP. Noora al-Abbar, director of communications and innovation for the government of Dubai, said the festival was part of a wider initiative to transform the city into "an open air art museum".
