What’s in store at the Urban Art Zone at Yasalam 2014

Besides hosting exciting musical performances – Charice, Jason Derulo, Juicy J, Rita Ora and Hard Kaur – the Yasalam festival has an interactive Urban Art Zone this year, so head down to the Abu Dhabi Corniche and get creative.

Art on-site

It’ll be hard to ignore the 40-foot shipping container smack in the middle of the Corniche’s West Plaza, which will serve as a wall for local graffiti artists to practise their skills during the 11-day festival that begins on Thursday, November 13.
