AOD Brings Design Education to Kandy with Exclusive Open Day
View(s):
Immersive, hands-on sessions on 9 May 2026 mark the first stop in a curated city series expanding access to creative education across Sri Lanka
The Academy of Design (AOD) will host an exclusive Open Day in Kandy on 9 May 2026, marking the first stop in a curated series of cities where the institution will extend access to design education.
Taking place from 10.00 AM to 4.00 PM at The Kandy Club, the Open Day is designed as an immersive introduction to AOD’s internationally recognised undergraduate programmes and its industry-led approach to creative learning.
The event will feature a series of interactive design labs and hands-on sessions across key disciplines, including Visual Communication and Design, Motion Graphics and Animation, Interior Design, and Fashion Design. Each session is structured to give attendees a practical understanding of how ideas are developed, refined, and translated into real-world outcomes within a studio environment, while also introducing the tools, techniques, and conceptual thinking that define contemporary design practice.
Prospective students and parents will have the opportunity to engage directly with AOD’s academic team, student counsellors, and current students, gaining first-hand insight into course structures, learning experiences, and progression pathways. The Open Day will also provide guidance on entry requirements for students completing O/Levels and A/Levels, as well as alternative pathways such as foundation programmes that lead directly into undergraduate degrees.
As Sri Lanka’s design industry continues to expand across sectors such as fashion, digital media, branding, and spatial design, AOD remains at the forefront of nurturing creative talent equipped to operate within both local and global contexts. By bringing this experience to Kandy, AOD aims to make design education more accessible to students beyond Colombo, opening up new possibilities for those looking to pursue careers in the creative industries.
With limited capacity for each session, early registration is strongly encouraged. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of what it means to study design at AOD, while experiencing the energy, creativity, and collaborative culture that define its learning environment.
Registrations are now open, and interested participants are encouraged to secure their place in advance.
