Through Art for Good’s Mural Adoption Programme, Givaudan has partnered with Bethel Community Services to transform its children’s centres with bright, colourful murals. Bethel Community Services supports children from lower-income families, providing them with a safe and nurturing environment in which to learn, play and grow. This is a three-part mural project across the children’s centres. The first two mural-painting sessions were completed on 26 June and 11 September, with the third and final session planned for next year. During each session, Givaudan employees volunteered alongside their family members, with children also joining in to help paint the walls. It was especially meaningful to see volunteers of different ages working together and contributing their time and creativity to the community. The completed murals have brought new colour and energy to the centres, creating spaces that feel warmer, happier and more welcoming. The children have been enjoying the brightly coloured murals, which now form part of the environments they experience each day. Art for Good’s Mural Adoption Programme brings companies, families and communities together to create meaningful change through art. Beyond transforming physical spaces, each mural represents the collective efforts of everyone involved and the positive impact that can be created when people come together for a shared purpose. We look forward to completing the final mural session with Givaudan and Bethel Community Services next year.

28–29 November 2026 | Suntec City Art has the power to give people a voice, tell stories and connect us with one another. This November, Art for Good will be bringing the work of artists with disabilities into a public space through an art exhibition at Suntec City on 28–29 November 2026. The exhibition will showcase artworks created by artists supported through Art for Good, giving them an opportunity to share their creative practice with a wider audience, receive recognition for their work and, where possible, generate income through the sale of their art. Creating More Opportunities for Artists For many artists with disabilities, developing an artistic practice can come with barriers that extend beyond the creative process. Access to art materials, education, studio spaces, exhibitions and professional opportunities can be limited by financial, physical and social barriers. These challenges can make it difficult for artists to develop their skills, build confidence, reach audiences and pursue their artistic aspirations. At Art for Good, we believe that people with disabilities should have opportunities not only to participate in the arts, but also to develop, exhibit and be recognised for their artistic work. Through our programmes and partnerships with businesses, organisations and community platforms, we seek to create meaningful pathways for artists to continue growing their practice. The upcoming exhibition at Suntec City is one such opportunity. By bringing their work into a public setting, artists can connect directly with members of the community, potential art buyers and organisations interested in supporting inclusive arts. For visitors, the exhibition is also an opportunity to discover the diverse creative voices and perspectives of artists with disabilities. Meet Some of the Artists Behind every artwork is an artist with their own story, interests and creative journey. Chloe Chek, 12 SMA2 | Artist at Art for Good Chloe is a young artist who has been developing her creative practice through her work with Art for Good. She has also had the opportunity to contribute her artistic talents to a commissioned project for the National Library Board, creating work for Iris Purple Hearts to promote inclusion at the library. For young artists like Chloe, opportunities to create work for real-world settings can be meaningful steps towards building confidence and discovering where their artistic abilities can take them. Jonas Teo, 15 Autism | Artist at Art for Good Jonas is an exceptionally talented young artist who loves drawing. His artworks reflect his interests and personal expression, including this faith-based painting depicting mountains. Through art, Jonas has a space to explore ideas and communicate through a medium that comes naturally to him. The opportunity to exhibit his work allows others to see not only the artwork itself, but also the creative potential of a young artist developing his own artistic voice. Titus Teo, 11 Rare Disorder (Immunity Deficiency) | Artist at Art for Good Titus is both visually and musically talented. Despite living with a lifelong disorder, he continues to explore and express himself through the arts. His creative journey is a reminder that artistic potential can take many forms and can continue to grow when individuals are given the encouragement and opportunities to develop their abilities. Andrea Chan, 16 Metabolic Disorder | Artist at Art for Good Andrea has been exploring art through her Art Therapy sessions at Art for Good. For her, the creative process provides an opportunity for self-expression and exploration. Over time, art has become part of her journey of developing greater confidence in her own abilities and understanding herself through creativity. Her artwork represents not just a finished piece, but also the personal growth and creative exploration behind it. Supporting the Art Development Fund The November exhibition is also part of Art for Good's efforts to build greater support for its Art Development Fund. The fund aims to reduce financial barriers faced by artists with disabilities, particularly those from financially disadvantaged backgrounds. Contributions can help provide access to: Art materials and creative resources Art education and artist development opportunities Studio resources Exhibitions and public showcases Opportunities to connect with audiences and potential buyers Other pathways for professional and artistic development By supporting these opportunities, we hope to help artists move beyond simply creating art towards having more opportunities to develop their practice, share their work and establish themselves as artists. How You Can Support There are several ways for members of the public to support this initiative.

With sustained support, artists with disabilities can have more opportunities to exhibit their work, develop their artistic practice, connect with new audiences and generate income from their creativity.

With Courage is a publication created to inspire, encourage and empower women, leaders and entrepreneurs through stories, reflections and practical insights. In Issue 27, themed “Coming Home to Yourself,” the magazine explores the importance of pausing, reconnecting with ourselves and nurturing the inner strength that allows us to continue leading with clarity and courage. The issue features Amanda Chen-Lee, art therapist and founder of Art for Good, in a personal reflection titled “The Art of Coming Home to Yourself.” Drawing from her experience as an art therapist, Amanda explores how creativity can provide a meaningful space for rest, self-expression and emotional connection. She shares how creative activities such as painting, gardening and journaling can help us step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with what is within. The feature also introduces the role of art therapy as a safe and supportive therapeutic process, where creativity can help people explore thoughts and emotions through colour, texture and imagery. Amanda highlights how art therapy can support different communities, including caregivers, children, persons with disabilities, seniors and people living with dementia. For Amanda, coming home to yourself is not a one-time act, but a lifelong journey. Her own practices of meditation, quiet reflection, gentle yoga and journaling are reminders that caring for others also begins with making space to care for ourselves. “Coming home to yourself is about finding rest, clarity and connection.” About Amanda Chen-Lee Amanda Chen-Lee is an art therapist and the founder of Art for Good, a Singapore-based social enterprise that uses art and creativity to inspire healing, wellbeing and connection. With more than 10 years of experience, she has supported children, families and communities through creative and compassionate approaches.

Ms Chen encouraged the girl to communicate with her mother about her struggles. Ms Chen says: “The last I heard, she was not sent to a girls’ home.” Names of parent and child were withheld to uphold client confidentiality. Ms Chen is one of a growing number of art therapists here. A quick Google search turns up at least 10 local-based companies offering art therapy, some of which were set up less than a year ago. According to a Straits Times article in 2013, the number of therapists registered under the Art Therapists’ Association of Singapore (ATAS) had then tripled to 30 since it first began five years ago in 2008. President of ATAS Jeanette Chan says the association’s membership strength has since grown to 45, and adds that the number of certified art therapists here is “much higher” than that figure. Art therapists here say they have seen a growing number of clients in recent years, especially in the form of children and parents who have behavioural and emotional issues ranging from defiance to depression. However, they add that any individual who is struggling can also benefit from art therapy. Art therapy involves a participant using art materials of any medium to express themselves. Based on the process and the product of the session, therapists are able to guide the participants to better understand their own thoughts and emotions. One does not need to have any art-making skills to do art therapy. Says art therapist Huma Durrani, 44: “Cognitively, you may not be aware of the issues you are facing. But through an image, you can express and uncover deep-seated, unconscious emotions.” She set up art therapy centre Coloured Canvas in Bukit Timah last August. There, she holds individual, group, and family art therapy sessions. For family art therapy sessions, some activities she facilitates includes asking a parent and child pair to draw on a shared piece of paper, or having them paint a house together while sharing a single paintbrush. Mrs Durrani says that after making observations such as which party takes up more space on the canvas, who uses which medium, and how the participants control their art tools, she is able to ask the pair guiding questions. Examples of these include: What did you draw? What happened as you made the artwork? How can you change things? It is every therapist’s hope that the questions they ask will bring healing to broken relationships between family members. Mrs Durrani says: “The art therapist does not interpret the client’s artwork on their behalf, but facilitates insight instead. Also, the client is never forced to make art.” She intends to further extend her family art therapy services by offering art therapy group sessions for caregivers on a regular basis. Fellow art therapist Ms Chen, who founded social enterprise Art For Good in Upper Changi last August, conducts art therapy programmes and workshops for vulnerable children both here and overseas. Locally, she has worked with primary and secondary schools and organisations such as the Young Women’s Christian Association of Singapore and Rare Disorders Society Singapore. At these sessions, art is an outlet for the children to release their negative feelings. Based on the artworks and what the children share, Ms Chen then works closely with social workers and the children’s parents to make professional recommendations on what would be most beneficial for the child, in the hope of bringing about positive change to the family situation. Some art therapy organisations have tools to help families deal with their ongoing challenges beyond the art therapy sessions, which typically cost $100 and above per hour. International humanitarian organisation The Red Pencil, for instance, encourages their clients to draw or paint something daily in a Visual Journal. The Red Pencil was founded in 2011 by husband-and-wife pair Alain and Laurence Vandenborre, and seeks to help the vulnerable of society via art and arts therapy. The Visual Journal allows clients to continue to express their inner thoughts and feelings, even upon completing the arts therapy process. Beyond art therapy, The Red Pencil also uses music, movement and dance to help children and families who have been through overwhelming life circumstances to express themselves in a creative yet safe way. Some organisations have also begun looking at how art can be used to facilitate better communication and bonding between parents and children. Last month, business partners Steve Lawler and Tanya Wilson, the co-founders of Kult – a multi-disciplinary design studio, art gallery and publisher at Emily Hill – launched Eyeyah!. Eyeyah! is currently a social enterprise that produces a child-centric activity book, in which art is used to stimulate creative thinking, creativity, and conversations between parent and child. Their first issue of this activity book is about the Internet. Made up almost entirely of images created by artists, the book also comes with games, colouring pages, and uses the artworks to convey the dangers of the Internet, such as addiction and online strangers. Future issues will look at themes like Supermarket, where little ones will be taught about genetically-modified foods and sugar consumption; and Money, which will convey messages about saving and investing. Ms Wilson, 39, says: “Parents who typically do not talk to their children about difficult issues can use the hard-hitting images within Eyeyah! as a tool to begin a conversation.” Read the Straits Times article at here

OF WORDS: 1043 More parents and children with emotional struggles are turning to art therapy to heal broken relationships At her wits' end about her 13-year old child's lying and cheating ways, a mother was on the verge of sending her daughter to a girls' home here. She felt powerless about changing her daughter's behaviour. As a last resort, she agreed for her daughter to work with an art therapist whom her child's secondary school had a partnership with. Through the art therapy sessions, it emerged that her daughter's wayward ways stemmed from having a poor sense of self. The art therapist on this case, Ms Amanda Chen, 34, says the girl had feelings of inferiority and difficulty processing her emotions from major life changes, which included the transition to secondary school, puberty and her parents' divorce. Ms Chen encouraged the girl to communicate with her mother about her struggles. She says: "The last I heard, she was not sent to a girls' home."

Krishna Remote Intern March 2026 - May 2026 My journey with Art For Good, while challenging due to personal factors, was not just a regular internship. It was extremely impactful and insightful, helping me upskill, explore new avenues and much more, making my semester break time meaningful. At Art for Good, a social enterprise rooted in creativity and care, I found myself working closely with the incredibly skilled and compassionate founder and team. What began as a professional opportunity quickly unfolded into something far more meaningful. Every conversation, brainstorming session, and quiet moment of observation revealed the depth of intention behind their work, how art could gently hold space for healing, how systems were thoughtfully designed to reach those who needed it most. It was thrilling to witness ideas transform into impact, and even more inspiring to be trusted as a small part of that journey. As a therapist in training, this helped me understand the humongous responsibility that comes with running a private practice. The self-directed and gently guided format of internship also reminded me of the importance of open communication and professionalism. I also genuinely appreciate how accommodating and understanding the team was of my personal challenges that I was experiencing at the time. This was also a good reminder of how life happens, and as I grow into the professional I aspire to be, it is important to handle crises more effectively and efficiently. Behind the scenes, I discovered that meaningful change is never accidental, it is built through patience, empathy, and precision. Contributing to the development of an art-based therapy introductory toolkit gave me insight into the delicate balance between psychology and creativity, while my involvement in event organisation, website management, and communication taught me the nuances of professionalism and collaboration. I learned that etiquette is not just about formality, but also about respect, and communication is not just about clarity, but also about connection. Most importantly, this experience deepened my empathy not as an abstract concept, but as a daily practice. This internship didn’t just expand my skill set, it reshaped how I see impact, reminding me that sometimes, the most powerful change begins quietly, with intention and heart. I would like to conclude by wishing the very best and expressing my love and sincere gratitude to the current team, upcoming interns, and artists. Thank you! Tracy To Marketing and Admin Intern Lunaris Internship Programme Jan 2022 - Sep 2022 Hi, I'm from HK and this overseas WFH experience has truly been an invaluable one. My duty includes social media, website updates, e-newsletters, email campaigns, SOP doc updates, and other ad-hocs. Searching for an internship for my uni course in Creative Industries, this internship turned out to be more meaningful and rewarding than I thought. It was amazing when my post for Junkai (our artist) went viral that his artworks got sold immediately. I was also given spaces to contribute new ideas based on my Comms knowledge and my last internship. Apart from gaining insights into SG's culture, I'm also equipped with practical skills in social media and website editing. It is my honour to join this meaningful journey at Art for Good. Rachel Tee Majulah Volunteer May 2021 - Aug 2021 My internship experience at Art for Good was an extremely insightful and fulfilling one, enabling me to learn many practical skill sets while doing good. I was given the opportunity to help with running various aspects of Art for Good’s daily operations such as social media publicity and volunteer management, and implementing new initiatives that aim to use art to empower children with disabilities. During my internship, I learnt how to design, launch and promote public fundraising campaigns and email blasts to garner public support and donations for our causes of helping underprivileged children through art. As a social media manager, I learnt about how to portray an organisation’s brand image, reach out, and grow an organisation’s community, and conduct online advocacy for our causes. I am extremely thankful for having been able to work with Art for Good and its team and look forward to our continued collaboration to do good through art. Jerlynn Yap Republic Polytechnic Jun - Aug 2019 This internship has provided me with many opportunities, where I have gained experience that helps me both professionally and personally. By helping out behind the scenes for events and handling the website requirements, gave me insight to how such organisations are being managed. One of my experiences was that I had first-hand contact with the beneficiaries like special needs children and underprivileged children. Previously, I have done volunteering work for underprivileged elderly, but helping the children gave me a different vibe as the children are active and constantly smiling. For these experiences, I am very grateful to have worked with Art for Good. Zeneith Yee Lithan Academy PCP Program Nov 2017 - Jul 2018 My Internship with Art for Good provided me opportunities to handle tasks which I would not have imagined myself to learn. Not being very IT Savvy, helping with the back end of the website was daunting in the beginning. However, I got to learn many things just from handling the backend of the website as I navigated and familiarised with the system. Handling the Social Media design and posts, I feel more confident with myself and handling my tasks as the days go by. Knowing more about the Social Enterprise Model gave me a different view on how we could use art to improve the lives of others. Most importantly, art improves mental health and improves well being. All in all, my internship with Art for Good allowed me to learn and experience new things and I am thankful for the opportunity given by Art for Good! Sean Yew Project Manager Lithan Academy PCP Program Nov 2017 - Jul 2018 I had the opportunity to learn about managing a micro business, particularly a social enterprise that works closely with various partners, ranging from government to non-government organizations, educational institutions as well as corporate entities. Art for Good also focuses on employee development, as I was a beneficiary of the Professional Conversion Programme, a 9-month course which equipped me with digital marketing skills to boost the company’s marketing efforts.

On 18 July 2026, Art for Good completed a mural that had been growing day by day through many hands, shared laughter, and a collective desire to create something meaningful for children. At Bethel Community Services Childcare Centre, the corridor has been transformed into a vibrant landscape filled with rainbows, forests, rivers, mountains, animals, flowers, and children exploring the world around them. The mural was designed to spark curiosity and imagination—a place where a turtle, a swan, a deer, rabbits, and colourful birds become part of a child’s everyday journey. What made this mural especially meaningful was the community behind it. Our volunteers, families, and the Art for Good team painted side by side, each person contributing a small part to a much larger picture. Some carefully painted trees and clouds, others added animals and flowers, while younger volunteers proudly picked up brushes and helped fill the wall with colour. It was a beautiful reminder that community art is not just about the final mural—it is about the relationships built along the way. There was something incredibly heartwarming about watching volunteers of different ages work together with such generosity and joy. Every brushstroke became an act of kindness, transforming not only the space but also the experience of creating it together. The finished mural stretches across the childcare centre with scenes of nature, play, and discovery. Children can wander past rainbows, feed ducks by the water, spot hidden animals among the trees, and imagine adventures beyond the mountains. We hope this colourful environment will bring moments of wonder, comfort, and happiness to the children who pass by it each day. At Art for Good, we believe that art has the power to create belonging. A mural can brighten a wall, but it can also brighten a childhood memory, a volunteer’s experience, and a community’s sense of connection. A heartfelt thank you to Bethel Community Services Childcare Centre for welcoming us, and to every volunteer who gave their time, creativity, and heart to this project. Your generosity has helped create a space filled with colour, hope, and imagination. This mural may be complete, but the stories it holds are only just beginning. #ArtForGood #CommunityArt #MuralArt #VolunteerArtists #ArtForEveryone #ChildcareMural #CommunityWellbeing

On 12 May 2026, Art for Good had the privilege of facilitating the first session of the Colours of Care caregivers workshop series in partnership with MPCSL, held at MPathy @ The Anchor, Marine Parade MRT. The session began with a simple invitation: to pause. For many caregivers, daily life revolves around caring for someone else. This workshop created a space where they could turn their attention inward—through colours, lines, and images that expressed feelings that are often difficult to put into words. Our opening session focused on creative expression and self-reflection. Participants explored the relationship between colours and emotions before creating a caregiver identity portrait, a gentle art exercise that invited them to reflect on their lived experiences, personal strengths, and the many roles they carry. As portraits began to take shape, each artwork became deeply personal. Some were filled with flowers, symbols of hope, and vibrant colours. Others revealed quiet strength, tenderness, fatigue, resilience, and the longing to be seen. There was no right or wrong way to create—only an invitation to be honest. What was especially meaningful was witnessing the conversations that emerged through the art. Caregivers shared stories, encouraged one another, and found moments of connection through their creative process. In that room, art became more than an activity; it became a way of saying, “This is how I have been feeling.” The portrait activity reminded us that caregivers are not defined solely by the people they care for. They are individuals with their own identities, emotions, dreams, and inner worlds that also deserve attention and care. We are deeply honoured to be the first of 10 invited vendors to lead a session in this meaningful series. It is a privilege to contribute to a wider collective effort dedicated to supporting caregiver well-being through creativity, reflection, and community. A heartfelt thank you to MPCSL for the opportunity to journey alongside the caregiver community. We look forward to the sessions ahead and to continuing this journey together—one colour, one portrait, and one story at a time. #ColoursOfCare #ArtTherapy #CaregiverSupport #MPCSL #ArtForGoodSG #ArtForWellbeing #CaregivingJourney

On 22–23 May 2026, Art for Good had the privilege of partnering with Saint Andrew's Autism Centre (SAAC) Siglap to create a meaningful community mural—one that celebrates creativity, inclusion, and the power of coming together. What began as a blank wall soon transformed into a vibrant coastal scene, painted not by a single artist, but by many hands united by one shared purpose. The heart of the project took place on Day 1, when beneficiaries from SAAC picked up their brushes and became the artists behind the mural. Guided by the Art for Good team, every participant contributed to the artwork, carefully painting waves, colourful fish, corals, and the evening sky. Each brushstroke reflected not only creativity but also the unique strengths and perspectives that every individual brings to a community. More than an art activity, the mural became a shared experience—filled with encouragement, laughter, focus, and meaningful conversations. Participants supported one another as the artwork slowly came to life, reminding us that beautiful things are created when everyone has the opportunity to contribute. On Day 2, our artists were joined by generous sponsors to complete the final details. Together, they added the finishing touches to the mural, bringing the underwater landscape, rolling waves, and guiding lighthouse into full view. The completed artwork now stands as a lasting symbol of hope, guidance, resilience, and belonging—a daily reminder that every person has an important place within the community. This project would not have been possible without the generosity of our anonymous donor, whose support made this initiative a reality. We are also deeply grateful to every volunteer, sponsor, staff member, and participant who gave their time, energy, and heart to this mural. At Art for Good, we believe that community art is about more than creating something beautiful. It is about creating spaces where everyone can participate, be seen, and feel valued. Together, we painted more than a mural—we created a lasting reminder that everyone belongs. If you are a charity or special needs school, you can email us to be part of our mural adoption program. Murals are adopted by kind sponsors and donors. 💙

Some of our favourite moments at Art for Good aren't from exhibitions or workshops—they're from birthday celebrations. Over the past year, we've had the joy of hosting children's birthday parties in our studio, and each one has reminded us that creativity has a special way of bringing people together. One celebration saw a table full of children carefully shaping tiny ducks from air-dry clay. There was plenty of laughter as every duck took on its own unique personality, and even more excitement when everyone proudly showed off their finished creations before gathering for cake and birthday photos. Another birthday was all about slime. It wasn't one of our usual activities, but we were happy to tailor the experience to the birthday girl's request. Soon, the studio was filled with colourful, glittery slime, delighted squeals, and children stretching their creations as far as they could. Although the activities were completely different, what stayed the same was the joy in the room. Children chatting, creating together, celebrating one another, and leaving with something they had made themselves. We love being part of these special milestones and seeing our studio filled with creativity, laughter, and birthday cheer. Whether it's one of our signature art activities or a customised experience, every celebration is a reminder that the best memories are often the ones made by hand. We can't wait to welcome many more little artists to celebrate their special day with us. Find out more at Art for Good Birthday Parties 🎂🎨💛

On 30 April 2026, Art for Good had the meaningful opportunity to be part of Lazada For Good Day — a day centred on giving back and making a positive impact in the community. As part of the event, we were engaged to conduct a hands-on creative workshop where participants came together to build wooden gliders. Over the course of the session, a total of 13 gliders were carefully crafted, each one uniquely assembled and decorated. While simple in form, these gliders carried a deeper purpose. Each piece created during the workshop was intended to be gifted to children from low-income families — transforming the act of making into an act of giving. Participants were encouraged to slow down, work with intention, and reflect on the joy their creations would bring to someone else. The workshop also highlighted the power of art as a connector. In a shared space, individuals from different backgrounds engaged in a collective experience — creating not just objects, but moments of empathy, generosity, and community spirit. At Art for Good, we believe that art can be a powerful tool for social impact. Initiatives like this remind us that even small, hands-on activities can create ripples of kindness and meaningful connection. We are grateful to have been part of Lazada For Good Day and to everyone who contributed their time, energy, and creativity. Together, we created something simple, thoughtful, and impactful — one glider at a time.
