More than a dozen hot shots of the international street-art scene, including Aiko, Blek Le Rat, ROA and Nick Walker, have turned new urban-style quarter City Walk into a stunning outdoor gallery. The not-to-be-missed art ranges from small pop-up model art to full-on installations covering an entire wall. The project was sponsored by City Walk developer Meraas.
