Om Urban Dawn vol II skriver arrangørerne på Facebook:

"Art platform curator19.90 has chosen to bring the 2nd edition of Urban Dawn to Beirut, Lebanon making it the largest urban art exhibition to take place in the region. The month-long show (Oct15th-Nov13th) will feature a selection of curated artworks from both established and emerging young artists from around the globe.

Much of the work on view will be immersively linked to the urban environment, drawing heavily on graffiti traditions and street art.

Lebanon is a small country with a strong personality developed through its diverse and rich culture, scenic landscapes and ancient spectacular beauty. It is one of the most developed countries in the Middle East with a long historical reach. In the 1950’s its capital city, Beirut, experienced a renaissance turning the country into a global tourist destination and financial center. With its French influences, vibrant cultural and intellectual life, Beirut had fast become known as the “The Paris of the Middle East.”
