Our Vision
Our Mission
Our Services
Art Therapy
Art therapy offers a unique healing approach for physical, mental, and emotional challenges. Led by certified Art Therapists with Masters in Art Therapy, our sessions, workshops, and lectures provide a supportive space for creative self-exploration. Through art, clients express emotions and experiences that words cannot, fostering self-discovery, emotional resilience, and personal growth. Tailored to individual or group needs, art therapy aids in trauma recovery, illness management, and personal development, offering a versatile and effective path to healing and self-expression.
Community Art
Our community art initiatives promote happiness, mental well-being, and a love for learning through creative projects. By applying positive psychology, we enhance personal growth and resilience. Participants engage actively, fostering fulfillment, appreciation, and a more inclusive society. These initiatives empower individuals and groups to explore creativity while contributing meaningfully to their communities.
Shop For Good
Our online Shop for Good empowers artist beneficiaries by selling their crafted art products. Through art, individuals leverage their strengths and share unique narratives, gaining therapeutic benefits and passive income. Showcasing their creations also builds confidence, independence, and pride. Each purchase supports these talented artists and promotes the healing power of art in our community.
Founder's Note
Amanda Chen - Art Therapist
Art for Good set up under the premise of the coming together of like-minded creative individuals to collaborate and develop creative projects with greater social impact. As an individual we can do so much, through collaboration, we can do so much more. Imagine a group of people standing on the shore throwing back many starfishes into the water.
​
Art has so many positive applications and the potential to create so much good! We strongly believe in the work that we do and in collaboration, we believe together we can achieve so much more! As a social enterprise, we do not wait for handouts, instead, we look for sustainable and creative ways to conduct our art projects and programs to create good. While some projects are pro-bono or on a volunteer basis, we strongly believe that artists should be fairly paid and remunerated, we strive to working towards that outcome.
​
We want to create the potential, the community, the platform and invite open hearts to want to create good using art! And we invite you to join us on this journey!
Once upon a time, there was an old man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach every morning before he began his work. Early one morning, he was walking along the shore after a big storm had passed and found the vast beach littered with starfish as far as the eye could see, stretching in both directions. Off in the distance, the old man noticed a small boy approaching. As the boy walked, he paused every so often and as he grew closer, the man could see that he was occasionally bending down to pick up an object and throw it into the sea. The boy came closer still and the man called out, "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you're doing?" The young boy paused, looked up. and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean. The tide has washed them up onto the beach and they can't return to the sea by themselves, "the youth replied. "When the sun gets high, they will die, unless I throw them back into the water." The old man replied, "But there must be tens of thousands of starfish on this beach. I'm afraid you won't really be able to make much of a difference." The boy bent down, picked up yet another starfish and threw it as far as he could into the ocean. Then he turned, smiled and said, "It made a difference to that one!"
