• Strengthen Sri Lanka’s creator economy and cultural storytelling

ANIK Gallery and Production House recently announced the launch of its creative facility in Greater Colombo, designed to support the growth of Sri Lanka’s creator economy through production services, training, and cultural education.

The new hub features a digital soundproof studio, immersive mood-driven sets, and a curated gallery showcasing artefacts and décor that reflect Sri Lanka’s heritage, craftsmanship, and contemporary design. The facility aims to serve artists, commercial producers, filmmakers, photographers, musicians, designers, digital content creators, and art enthusiasts seeking a professional space to develop and share their work, the gallery noted.

“Our purpose is simple, it is to inspire creators and give them the tools, knowledge, and environment to tell stories that matter,” said ANIK Head Ruchira Jayawickrama. “ANIK is built on the belief that Sri Lanka’s creativity, culture, and heritage deserve to be shared with the world. We want to strengthen the creator economy, nurture talent, and empower communities, because when one story rises, many follow. At ANIK, Your Story Inspires.” 

Beyond production, ANIK plans to introduce training programmes to build capacity within the creative community, offering skills development in communications and media, audio engineering, photography, videography, set design, digital storytelling, and studio development and construction. The initiative also focuses on preserving and promoting Sri Lankan culture by educating creators on heritage-inspired design, traditional craftsmanship, and cultural narratives that can be amplified through modern media.

According to the company, ANIK will engage with local artists, educators, and cultural institutions to foster collaborations, exhibitions, and programmes that elevate Sri Lankan identity globally while creating economic opportunities for creators.
