Exhibiting 35 artists at its first ever event, which was viewed by the iconic Sri Lankan artist George Keyt himself, this year’s silver jubilee celebration will see over 300 artists and sculptors from all parts of Sri Lanka converge in Colombo to enjoy the patronage and appreciation of thousands of visitors throughout the day from 8.00 am till 9.00 pm. The Official Ceremony took place at 5.00 p.m under the distinguished patronage of H.E. Taranjit Singh Sandhu, High Commissioner of India to Sri Lanka, representatives from George Keyt Foundation and John Keells Group.

Focused on showcasing and promoting Sri Lankan art, Kala Pola has primarily functioned as a platform for painters and sculptors of all kinds to showcase their work. It also provides lucrative opportunities and networking possibilities among artists and an ever-appreciative audience that has been bourgeoning over the years. Similarly, Kala Pola has, on numerous occasions, been a launch pad for local artists to gain recognition and propel their work into the international arena.
