'Speculo 2017’ hosted by SriLankan Airlines

Features

Sri Lankan Airlines recently hosted ‘Speculo 2017’, a national painting and visual arts exhibition featuring the work of the country’s top professional artists as well as youth from all corners of the island.

The event took place at J.D.A. Perera Gallery from February 24 – 26 and was attended by art enthusiasts, business leaders, military veterans, government officials, students and members of the airline’s team as well as the general public, a statement by the nationla carrier said.

The competition featured a total of 80 professional artists (by far the most amount of professional Sri Lankan artists of esteemed repute, who have showcased their work together at a single exhibition), 350 displays and diverse pieces that were showcased under a cross-section of categories.

The theme of the exhibition was ‘My SriLankan Perspective’ and this year, the response was extremely encouraging. As part of the all-island art competition, which was hosted in the run-up to exhibition, school children from remote areas such as Jaffna, Mannar, Bibile and Balangoda also sent in their entries, whilst students and professors from several higher educational institutions, art teachers and even clergy members participated.
