June 27, 2025 In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming, art has the power to heal, empower, and connect. For Chloe Chek, a bright young girl diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2 (SMA2), crochet has become more than just a hobby—it’s a lifeline, a source of joy, and a way to share her creativity with others. Chloe has discovered the therapeutic magic of yarn and needle, transforming her challenges into beautiful, handmade creations. Finding Solace in Art Chloe’s journey with crochet began as a simple pastime, but it quickly blossomed into something far more significant. The rhythmic motion of stitching, the vibrant colors of the yarn, and the satisfaction of creating something tangible became a form of therapy for her. Despite the challenges posed by SMA2, crochet has allowed Chloe to express herself freely, build focus, and experience a sense of pride and accomplishment with every completed piece. Chloe is a participant in Art For Good’s art therapy program, where she receives support for her emotional and mental well-being. She is also part of our artist development program, which focuses on empowerment, confidence building, character development, and fostering a positive sense of identity. Chloe’s crochet work has moved beyond a personal hobby to a recognized part of her art portfolio. Chloe is learning to weave her personal experiences and resilience into each piece, turning her hobby into a form of artistic expression. A Heartfelt Collaboration with NLB Chloe’s talent didn’t go unnoticed. In a remarkable opportunity, the National Library Board (NLB) commissioned her to crochet 70 IRIS Hearts—a special project that merged her passion for crafting with a cause close to her heart. Introducing IRIS (Inclusive LibRarIes) IRIS, which stands for “Inclusive LibRarIeS”, is a purple heart icon that represents accessible programmes and services for persons with disabilities and reflects the inclusive offerings available throughout NLB libraries. Persons with disabilities, their caregivers, and the general public are encouraged to engage with IRIS activities to explore and learn more about the accessible services available in the libraries. For Chloe, this project was more than just a commission—it was a chance to contribute to a larger movement of kindness and inclusion. Each heart she crafted became a personal symbol of her dedication, stitched with love, patience, and care. A Testament to Resilience and Creativity Chloe’s story is a testament to the power of art to transcend limitations. Through crochet, she has not only found a therapeutic outlet to navigate the challenges of SMA2, but she’s also brought beauty into the world. Her collaboration with NLB highlights her growing skill and reflects the deep personal meaning woven into each piece of work. This partnership underscores the invaluable role of programs like Art For Good, which provide a nurturing space for individuals like Chloe to thrive. It is through such support that Chloe is able to share her art, not just as a hobbyist, but as an emerging artist with a unique voice. As she continues her artistic journey, Chloe hopes to inspire others facing similar struggles, showing that with passion, dedication, and support, anything is possible—one stitch at a time.

Since 2018, Art For Good uses art to reach out to children from low-income families in one-room rented flats in Toa Payoh (Singapore), hence the name Art Outreach. We provide free art enrichment classes and art excursions to underprivileged children who would otherwise not be able to afford them. We hope to use art to improve the quality of life, promote good mental health and well-being to the less fortunate, starting with the children. We aim bring more awareness to the poverty situation in Singapore through this program. The program is fully supported and funded by Art for Good and by the volunteers who have come to support us. We started the program from making art on picnic mats. We interacted with the children under their blocks and engaged them to make art together and build friendships. Toa Payoh Central Constituency Office gave us a classroom to work in until December 2018. We are currently conducting the classes for the children at Toa Payoh CC Blk 93, Room 05-03, every Wednesday from 6:30-8:30pm. If you would like to volunteer to be part of this program, please  contact us . We hope to continue this Art Outreach Program and look for other creative ways to continue to engage these children who thrive in this environment!

June 9, 2019 Art for Good organized an Art Therapy workshop for the children from  RDSS  (Rare Disorders Society of Singapore) and their siblings at Bukit Batok HomeTeamNS. The children were initially gathered to play laser tag, but it was arranged so that they had an opportunity to experience some creative art expression through art therapy sessions in between their laser tag games. The purpose of the workshop was to assess and observe the children to see who might require art therapy or have potential to develop artistic abilities. Some of the children were able to express themselves well through art, by drawing their experience playing laser tag. This workshop was conducted by a certified art therapist. RDSS (Rare Disorders Society of Singapore) has partnered with Art for Good to provide emotional support to their beneficiaries through Art Therapy. RDSS will sponsor 75% of the cost of art therapy fees. All of our art therapy sessions are home-based, as we understand the difficulties of transportation for some of the families. The session is 1 hour per child at $120 per hour. Families only need to pay $30 per session. This is only applicable for members of RDSS. Transportation and art materials fees are sponsored by Art for Good. If the families would like to get their own art materials for the children to continue art-making on their own, a recommended art material list can be provided upon request. The Art Therapist will provide individual monthly progress reports for the children, which will track their progress and offer relevant recommendations, where needed.
