Launch of ‘Artspace Sri Lanka’ : Sri Lanka’s largest online portal for artists 

Artspacesrilanka.com is the first online gallery to present a comprehensive catalogue of art that can be browsed and purchased online. Understanding the growing demand for Sri Lankan art,  gallerist and curator Saskia Fernando stepped forth to initiate this project with an aim to connect the increasing number of talented artists both from and/or living in Sri Lanka with local and international network of enthusiasts and collectors in her gallery.

This online gallery presents collectors with the opportunity to purchase any work of art at the click of a button and browse the largest collection of work available in one space. Adding art to your collection will support the local art industry while ensuring its sustainable growth.

In addition the website features the only comprehensive guide to all the organizations, institutions and events involved in the promotion of art. Art Space Sri Lanka presents work of varying price ranges, from USD 50 upwards. Delivery in Colombo limits is free and delivery outstation or shipping overseas can be quoted within three working days.

Artspacesrilanka.com makes the process of purchasing art for private collections and corporate projects easier. The website is more inclusive than most galleries, with specifications mainly pertaining to portfolio and existing series of works by any artist, however all artists placed on the website are carefully selected by the Art Space Sri Lanka team. The website has been designed to make browsing from your computer, tablet or phone easy. Registering on the site takes around five minutes and the structure allows one to create a collection over time before deciding to send through the final selection for final enquiry.

As you enter the website you will be greeted with a collection of some vibrant masterpieces by local and international artists. The website is quite user-friendly and if you admire different strokes on canvas, then artspacesrilanka.com will offer you some satisfactory choices.
