A Small Note On The Exhibition 

Today(25) is the last day of "Siththaru Andi Ru-3" Art And Cartoon Exhibition currently on at National Art Gallery in Colombo.Although not much publicity given to this exhibition a very good crowd including foreigners   has seen coming to view this exhibition on last Friday.

Besides viewing art works and cartoons displaying in the gallery you can get your figure drawn through an artist there free of charge.Both Male and Female Artists at the gallery are there to draw your figure.It takes around 30 minutes to draw a figure of a person a friendly Artist there told us.

The only lapse that seen in this exhibition is the lack of Abstract Art Works displaying at the  Exhibition.Otherwise hats off to the organizers  for organizing a   very good exhibition .So the Art Lovers should be there  today as well at the National Art Gallery to  spend a colorful day with Sri Lankan Artists and Cartoonists.
