“To friends in attendance whose art is included in our permanent collection, thank you for your art and its voice in our conversation about Sri Lanka through your art. And for the artists whose works are not here as well – I salute all the artists tonight for your perseverance and passion during this challenging period in Sri Lanka. Thank you for your passion for the arts and for sharing that with the rest of the world.” – Julie J. Chung
