Kota Kinabalu: The annual Installation Art by the Bay at KK held at Tanjung Lipat here today continued to attract international participation.
The 9th Edition of the event saw the involvement of 13 teams including from Denmark and Finland as well as from Sabah, Kuala Lumpur and Penang.
Officiating the event, Assistant Tourism, Culture and Environment Minuster Datuk Joniston Bangkuai said Sabah needs to capitalise on its diverse culture to develop its own unique art culture.
"Transforming a city into a destination known for its art does not happen overnight and I am certain it requires a lot planning and strategy," he said in a statement.
Joniston added that his ministry is always supportive of events or initiatives that can enhance the tourism industry, encourage sustainable practises and empower the community.
