Sustellence makes its first public debut at the Ladies College Retro Riot Carnival.

On 5 September 2026, we made our first public debut at the Ladies College Retro Riot Carnival in Colombo. Our artists spent the day creating live portraits and face painting, while we displayed their original work—from traditional and abstract art to watercolour and canvas paintings.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Mrs Tamara Dharmakirti-Herath for funding this initiative and for being such an important part of its success. Your kindness and support are truly appreciated.

At Sustellence, we support rural artists from across Sri Lanka, particularly those experiencing financial hardship or physical disabilities. It meant a lot to see people stop by, talk with the artists, and appreciate their talent. Thank you to everyone who visited our stall and supported our launch.
