Sunera art exhibition at Paradise Road Galleries

EXHIBITION: A special art exhibition will be open at Paradise Road's The Gallery Cafe today (23) in support of Sunera Foundation's work with differently abled people across Sri Lanka.

The exhibition will feature new works from a selection of Sri Lanka's most talented and well-known artists. All funds raised through the sale of the paintings on display will be given to the Sunera Foundation to enable them to continue to hold workshops for differently-abled children throughout the country.

The Sunera Foundation is a government-approved charity that was first set up in April 2000 in recognition of the need to address the psychosocial needs of differently abled people.

Through the use of the arts as a therapeutic tool, Sunera has helped build skills in thousands of differently-abled people around the island and given them the confidence to find their own artistic voice. Over time, the organisation has grown to accommodate the needs of tsunami-displaced Sri Lankans as well.

Paradise Road has been a long-term supporter of the Sunera Foundation's philosophy of hope and an advocate of the creative expression coming out of Sunera's workshop participants. Both Paradise Road and Sunera Foundation hope that this exhibition will be a success.

The exhibition will run until March 2. Entry is free to the public and all art on display is for sale.
