The ethos of Hempel Galleries is to motivate artists in the development of artists’ careers taking a multi-faceted approach by working with galleries, curators, artist collectives, museums and private collections.
Colombo Art Biennale (CAB) was co-founded by Hempel in 2009 to strengthen the platform and enhance awareness of the talent of Sri Lankan contemporary art and culture both within Sri Lanka and around the globe.
