The Galle Art Trail is back, from the 24th to the 28th January. The Galle Fort and beyond will have over 20 pop-up galleries showcasing paintings, photography, sculptures, posters and installations from Sri Lanka and abroad.
Many works are for sale!
Ponder over, mingle with art lovers, converse with the artistes, just soak it in and enjoy the surroundings, many of which have not been opened up in years … discover the old Galle Fort, and enjoy The 2018 Galle Art Trail.
Galle Art Trail Map:
Each gallery will have a green flag outside it … and a map will be available in the 2018 Galle Art Trail printed programme which can be picked up in Galle.
