Supporting Well-being through the Arts

You are invited to Let’s Connect!, where artists and community stakeholders can engage in dialogues on arts engagement and participation. Join us this June as we explore how the creative modes of expression provided by the arts can provide a rich and rewarding way to support one’s emotional, mental and social well-being.

We will hear from arts and community practitioners about carefully designed arts programmes, which allow participants of various profiles, from children to seniors, to build confidence, process difficult emotions and improve their well-being.

This programme is part of Wellness Festival Singapore.
