IAW is an experimental interdisciplinary art workshop held once in every 2 years. It is envisaged as a non-didactic experimental forum to facilitate an interdisciplinary collaboration of art forms. It hopes to break ethnic, cultural and artistic divide by bringing contemporary art practitioners from different artistic, cultural and geographical backgrounds and allowing cooperative and collaborative ventures between them to take place.

The participating artists will be living and working in the workshop site for fourteen days. The immediate aim of the workshop is to function as an experimental art-laboratory. To create an atmosphere where artists from different geographical parts of the world as well as from different parts within Sri Lanka, can set up a non hierarchical work situation where exchange and transfer of knowledge, energy and skills could take place as an intensely lived experience.  

International Artists Workshops are held once in two years.
