This year, KALĀ proudly joins hands with the University of Visual and Performing Arts (UVPA) in Colombo to commemorate the institution’s 75th anniversary. With a legacy tracing back to 1893, UVPA has been instrumental in shaping Sri Lanka’s artistic identity. KALĀ pays tribute to its pioneering leaders—J.D.A. Perera, Stanley Abeysinghe, David Paynter, and Tissa Ranasinghe—who laid the foundation for modern Sri Lankan art.
