Art Way Institute

Offers an intriguing, refreshing education

This is a place where kids come and grow into large trees. Their education in art is done in a systematic manner and most importantly students feel that they’ve learned something after each session. Each brushstroke by students on the canvas is watched by two teachers who have compassionate eyes, that have seen the world before them. Not all who try art will embrace it instantly, but lessons taught here make you feel that you belong in this community and want to improve. It’s amazing at times to see 50 odd students sitting in ‘art posture’, finishing the work and enjoying a sense of satisfaction that a job was well done.

The vibe created by Art Way Institute makes you quickly realize that it’s more than a typical academy. And it’s invariably so because of two talented artists Achala Gunawardhana and B.A Sudath Abeysekara who have had much international exposure in arts and craft and count years of teaching experience.

Both Achala and Sudath have obtained their Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees from top Sri Lankan state universities. The duo are dispensing their knowledge in arts in a manner that students see art through their own eyes and engage in creations that will help preserve art for the future.

Art Way Gallery functions largely under the thinking of Sudath who gives purpose and impetus to all activities of this arts facility while Achala (his wife) provides the female touch to the institute while taking students through a comprehensive course study in visual and fine arts.
