Local Talent Shines In Abu Dhabi's Mural Revamp Of Bus Stops
Some of Abu Dhabi’s bus stops have been transformed into captivating works of art. The Department of Municipalities and Transport – Abu Dhabi (DMT) has launched an innovative project named Abu Dhabi Canvas, intending to revamp the cityscape with vibrant murals crafted by Emirati and locally-based artists.
These murals will adorn bus shelters across various areas including Al Nahyan, Al Bateen, Al Manhal, Al Mushrif, Al Danah, and Al Muntazah. Abu Dhabi Canvas also seeks to foster local talent, with artists dedicating over 800 hours to create these artworks.
Mohamed Ali Al Shorafa, Chairman of the DMT, expressed, “Abu Dhabi Canvas is more than just an initiative; it's a celebration of our city's identity and a testament to the creativity of our local artists.
By adorning key bus shelter locations with dynamic murals, we're transforming public spaces into dynamic showcases that not only enhance the visual appeal to our city but also foster a sense of connection and belonging among residents and visitors alike.
Abu Dhabi Canvas reflects our commitment to supporting local talent and creating an inclusive urban environment for all to enjoy.”
The project aims to draw both residents and visitors to explore these murals, which aim to leave lasting impressions and reflect the diverse perspectives present in Abu Dhabi.
