Artway Gallery, which opened doors in 2009 with initiative and support of 24 artists, is fast gaining reputation as a much sought after venue for Sri Lanka's best-known artists and connoisseurs of art from the island and abroad. Housed in a splendid 'Walauwa' (manor) style home, with its distinctive colonial architecture and wide open spaces, Artway Gallery features art encompassing a variety of s
tyles and genres, including still life paintings, portraits, landscapes, abstract art, installation art and sculpture using a variety of innovative media. Ordinary objects, which wouldn't merit a second glance, have been transformed into miraculous objets d'art by talented artists and innovators. While nurturing and developing local artistic talent, Artway Gallery is very much part of the international artistic community, conducting exhibitions and workshops overseas, forging links with artists and institutions worldwide, while keeping abreast of new developments in the visual arts. Well-attended exhibitions and workshops, featuring live models and performing artistes, as well as an in-house institute for budding artists of all ages, add to the allure of Artway as 'the' place for art lovers. It's location at Old Kesbewa Road, Nugegoda, affords easy access, while a quick tour of www.artgallery.lk gives, at a glance, what's in store.
