Shaping Hearts 2022 Wrapped

Shaping Hearts returned for its fourth consecutive year, continuing its celebration of creativity, resilience and inclusion.

Themed “Celebrating Arts. Inspiring Hope”, the festival showcased the creative expressions of artists with disabilities, with each work reflecting their journeys, milestones and resilience. Through art exhibitions, live performances and an art marketplace, the community came together to discover and celebrate their diverse talents.

The festival also launched the “Pledge a Heart” movement, inspiring the wider community to show their support for persons with disabilities and contribute towards a more inclusive Singapore.

Shaping Hearts 2022 concluded on a high note with a live art auction featuring nine paintings, including special collaborations between artists with disabilities and local celebrities Edmund Chen, Jaime Teo and Jeanette Aw.

With the generous support of corporate and individual donors, the festival raised over S$672,286, with proceeds from the sale of the inclusive artworks going directly to the artists and their Social Service Agencies (SSAs).

Shaping Hearts extends its heartfelt appreciation to all artists, SSAs, partners and donors for making the festival a meaningful success. Together, the community continues to celebrate the power of art in building a more caring and inclusive society.
