In their most general form these activities include the production of works of art, the criticism of art, the study of the history of art, and the aesthetic dissemination of art.
'Let there be light' exhibition, a creative expression in art, photography, and film and words was held recently at Lionel Wendt Art Centre, Colombo. Artist, curator and benefactor, Chandrika Maelge of the exhibition, explains that last year during morning prayers the Lord planted a word in her heart "Do another exhibition next year, I will send you the artists. You will be the blessing!" The theme given was 'Let there be light'. In obedience to the word she had embarked on this mission.
'Let there be light' are the first words spoken by God (Genesis 1:3). The backbone of the exhibition was inspired by this word. On these note artists, Kesara Ratnavibhushana, Aamina Nizar and Chandrika Maelge have portrayed their personal interpretation of 'Let there be light'. In addition, they have collectively put together collections for; 'Let There Be Light in Your Thinking', 'Bloom Like The Lotus' and 'The Beauty of Sun and Moon Light'.
In the perspective of the history of art. artistic works have existed for almost as long as humankind. From early prehistoric art to contemporary art; however, some theories restrict the concept of "artistic works" to modern Western societies. One early sense of the definition of art is closely related to the older Latin meaning, which roughly translates to "skill" or "craft," as associated with words such as "artisan." English words derived from this meaning include artifact, artificial, artifice, medical arts, and military arts. However, there are many other colloquial uses of the word, all with some relation to its etymology.

Art is a great influencer. Art speaks. Art evokes emotion. The exhibition planted seeds of light through art," says Maelge.
