Galle Literary Festival

Art Trail

Held from 22 January to 1 February, the Art Trail by ARTRA will transform the historic Galle Fort into a living gallery. Featuring 15 – 20 curated segments, the programme includes art exhibitions, guided art walks, and “Meet the Artist” sessions with emerging, mid-career, and established artists from Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia.

A major highlight will be the launch of ARTRA Magazine’s Jagath Weerasinghe Edition, honouring Sri Lanka’s leading contemporary artist and cultural icon of the 1990s.

This is a bold celebration of regional artistic expression, cultural dialogue, and visual storytelling.
