Art is a universal language that plays a pivotal role in shaping a country’s culture and society. Sri Lanka too has been influenced by many artists over the centuries. From those who adorned the walls of palaces during the Sinhala kingdoms to modern artists whose work portrays Sri Lanka’s evolution as an independent country – all of them have played an intrinsic part of telling Sri Lanka’s story.

Experience Overview

Visit an internationally acclaimed artist and spend the evening with her over a cup of tea and explore Sri Lanka and art through her eyes and experience. Your host is an artist that has continuously challenged her approach to art by tackling topics such as sustainability, climate change and peace building. Wander through her beautiful residence which has been in the family since 1872 with a pavilion gallery and a doorway to a secret garden hidden away amidst the hustle and bustle of Cinnamon Gardens. Her space is filled with an array of precious publications from many countries and times and multimedia trilingual exhibits that have traveled with her across the world.

Managing Expectations

“ It is important to remember that, whilst they are experts in their field, the people who run or host our experiences are not necessarily used to working in the tourism industry and may not offer the level of service you would find at a five-star hotel. For example, instead of a formal lecture, you may get a relaxed conversation where open discussion is encouraged. All of our hosts are, however, extremely engaging, knowledgeable and passionate about educating visitors about their chosen subject and we have worked with them to ensure that they deliver worthwhile, fulfilling experiences. We welcome feedback, so please let us know what you thought and if you think any improvements could be made to the experiences we offer. ”
