Kala Pola – Sri Lanka’s annual art fair showcasing and promoting visual art – went online for the first time in its 28-year history on srilankanartgallery.com/kalapola on 21st February 2021. Presented by The George Keyt Foundation in association with the John Keells Group, Kala Pola has grown to become an event not to be missed in Colombo’s annual cultural calendar. Hence it was decided to host Kala Pola virtually this year as a month-long event from 21st February to 21st March 2021. Kala Pola 2021 also welcomed Nations Trust (NTB) as its Banking Partner and hosted NTB’s Private Banking customers to an exclusive preview of the online event on 20th February, one-day prior to opening for the general public. Arts and Culture is one of the six focus areas of John Keells Foundation- the CSR entity of John Keells Holdings PLC (JKH), a company listed in the Colombo Stock Exchange operating over 70 companies in 7 diverse industry sectors.
