In close proximity to the Nelum Pokuna Mahinda Rajapaksa Theatre, Viharamahadevi Park, the National Museum of Colombo, the Town Hall, Colombo, and Colombo Public Library, the gallery is situated in Cinnamon Gardens.Without a doubt, the National Art Gallery in Colombo should be visited. Many tourists come to this vibrant, lovely location in an effort to experience Sri Lankan heritage and culture. It is referred to as "Jathika Kala Bhavana" in Sinhalese. By a fair measure, this is Colombo's most appealing art gallery. The gallery is situated on Colombo 7's Ananda Kumaraswamy Mawatha.The Art gallery's three main sections are a permanent display hall, an eastern hall, and a western hall. At the permanent section, there are a few permanent statues, models, portraits, and landscapes. The remaining divisions are modifiable.

Discover Sri Lankan culture, which has been altered to meet the rising expectations of the youth, at the national art gallery. Young artists and those with limited opportunities now have a wonderful opportunity to showcase their talents. If you reserve the western or eastern gallery, the authorities will support your exhibition in every way possible. Usually, a few respectful artists visit the national gallery. Even so, they take part in the shows held there and celebrate and exalt the young artists. Only young, up-and-coming local artists are present to describe the work that is constantly on show.

Thousands of canvases with vibrant colors and decorations are used to decorate the walls. In those circumstances, it is preferable to seek help from the administrators or the responsible artists. Sometimes we could not be able to comprehend the creations. You must fill out an application form for reservations, which is available from the Art Division of the Department of Cultural Affairs' Head Office. The show needs the blessing of the Colombo Municipal Council and the Sri Lankan Arts Council. The Director of Cultural Affairs should receive the completed forms together with a letter of clearance from the Sri Lanka Arts Council. With the application forms, there are no fees. When visiting the Department during business hours, reservations can be made.
