Art provides a safe space for children to express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. When words fail, a stroke of a brush or a splash of colour can convey emotions that may otherwise remain submerged. Art becomes a bridge to communicate their inner world.

The Fareed Uduman Art Forum and Sky Gallery is delighted to present this exhibition that celebrates the creativity of Sri Lanka’s youngest artists. “Young Artists’ Open Exhibition” is an amazing showcase featuring the works of almost 100 children who are less than 15 years of age, providing them a platform to share their artistic expressions (and impressions). Visitors will encounter a wonderful mix of paintings, each of which reflects unique perspectives and uninhibited creativity. From vibrant landscapes to imaginative characters, the exhibition covers a wide range, and viewers can expect to be moved, amused, and even inspired by the interpretations of these youngsters.

“We are thrilled to host this special exhibition which is a testament to the importance of nurturing creativity and empowering young minds to explore their artistic potential,” said Jomo Uduman, of the FU Art Forum and Sky Gallery. “Art has the power to inspire, and we are indeed honoured to support such a clutch of emerging artists and to provide them with this space to display their beautiful work. Let’s encourage young hearts to find solace and strength through creativity.”

Visitors to the exhibition can expect to be amazed by the talent and creativity on display. Whether it’s a whimsical doodle or a thought-provoking composition, each piece offers a glimpse into the boundless imagination, inspiration of youth who through their artworks, offer fresh perspectives and insights, inviting and urging you to see the world through their eyes. The “Young Artists’ Open Exhibition” is a glimpse into the promising future of Sri Lanka’s art scene. Visitors must note there is a stairway to climb up to the Gallery. Contact 0777329596.
