The Culture Story has adopted The Red Pencil (Singapore) as its charity and is supporting their fund-raising efforts with a unique pop-up art exhibition. Over 40 artworks donated by more than 30 of Singapore’s young and established artists will be featured in the exhibition, including the likes of Genevieve Chua, Dawn Ng, Boo Sze Yang, Milenko Prvacki and Han Sai Por.
“Art to Heart: A Charity Art Exhibition” is the first of its kind since The Red Pencil (Singapore)’s inception in 2011, to raise funds to provide creative arts therapy programmes for children, families and seniors in Singapore. Through the funds raised from this event, The Red Pencil (Singapore) aims to provide free or subsidised creative arts therapy services for the less privileged in Singapore, ensuring they are not deprived of the opportunities for clinical interventions that can enhance their mental well-being and resilience to overcome life challenges. The funds will also help the organisation to intensify its outreach efforts to raise awareness of the professional help that individuals can access when faced with mental distress and trauma.
