Art to Heart: A Charity Art Exhibition
Presented by The Culture Story
28 – 30 April 2023
The Culture Story adopted The Red Pencil (Singapore) as its charity and supported its fundraising efforts with a unique pop-up art exhibition. The exhibition featured over 40 artworks donated by more than 30 of Singapore’s young and established artists, including Genevieve Chua, Dawn Ng, Boo Sze Yang, Milenko Prvacki and Han Sai Por.
“Art to Heart: A Charity Art Exhibition” was the first of its kind since The Red Pencil (Singapore)’s inception in 2011, aiming to raise funds for creative arts therapy programmes for children, families and seniors in Singapore. The funds raised helped provide free or subsidised creative arts therapy services for the less privileged, ensuring access to clinical interventions that enhance mental well-being and resilience. Additionally, the funds enabled the organization to expand outreach efforts, raising awareness of the professional support available for individuals facing mental distress and trauma.
