Kala Pola, Sri Lanka’s Annual Open-Air Art Fair, which was held on 19th February, celebrated its 30th year in 2023. The event was first conceptualised by the George Keyt Foundation in 1993, and has since been held with the continued support and patronage of the John Keells Group, since 1994. Kala Pola is the country’s largest and most vibrant platform for artists to showcase their work and to interact with the art community.
