There opening hours are insane and I have told them many a time but they don't seem to get it. 2 possible reasons/theories ….
- they like the exclusivity factor: Sri Lankan art just for a few Sri Lankans? Sometimes you get the feeling they don't want anyone to come there
- security problems (which I won't elaborate too much on but erm it is pretty obvious if you go there)
I've asked them about their really weird opening hours a couple of times and I was told to write to the chairman(!!!). I have 2 possible theories
a) they don't really want people to come there (because they sincerely believe in the concept of best-kept secrets
b) They have a security problem (better not to elaborate on that too much)
We are open Wednesday to Sunday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. including Poya days (other than Wesak and Esala) so even office workers have a chance to come. Constant ongoing maintenance means that we need to restrict visiting hours but, as the site mentions, it may well be worth the effort………

WELL rOHAN, THE fact IS THERE ARE MANY FOREIGN TOURISTS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN SEEING THIS VALUABLE ART GALLERY, AND WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF A SOLUTION COULD BE FOUND AT LEAST TO GO AND SEE THE PLACE ON ALL DAYS BY APPOINTMENT IF NECESSARY AS THE TOURISTS DO COME AND GO DAILY AND CANNOT SEE THE PLACE WHEN SUCH STRICT VIEWING HOURS ARE IN PRACTICE. HOPE U WOULD TRY AND FIND A SOLUTION SOON TO CATER TO FOREIGNERS WHO WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE PLACE. THANK U,
I am an artist living in Dubai. A qualified ceramic artist known to me would be going to Sri Lanka for artist residency in Colombo for a month (July 2014). I've heard that Sapumal Foundation provides accommodation for visiting artists and would appreciate more information on the procedure.
Do you have an email address for someone at Sapumal Foundation and/or George Keyt Foundation?
