The first-ever Shaping Hearts exhibition at Gardens by the Bay and Bayfront MRT was a vibrant celebration of art, inclusion, and community. Held from 21 to 29 June 2025, the event showcased stunning artworks by talented artists with disabilities, inviting visitors to experience their creativity, stories, and perspectives in a unique public setting.

People walk past art displays in a brightly lit hallway, with paintings on blue and yellow panels.

Throughout the week, the public enjoyed live painting sessions where our artists shared their process and passion in real time.

Live performances throughout the event lit up the atmosphere with music, movement, and heart. From the uplifting rhythms of ParaBeatz and Azalea Band (Faith Music Centre) to evocative performances by ART:DIS artists and moving solos, each act was a beautiful reminder of the power of creative expression.

People stand and watch someone playing a piano.

Visitors also had fun at the fringe activity booths! Whether it was designing colourful magnets or coffee art painting, everyone had the chance to bring home something special.
