As the curtains close on another memorable edition of Shaping Hearts, the festival looks back on a celebration of creativity, resilience, and inclusion.

Shaping Hearts 2024 brought together over 200 artists from Singapore and ten international cities, showcasing more than 500 artworks through exhibitions, performances, art sales, and a charity art auction.

A key highlight was the debut of the Neo Kah Kiat (NKK) Arts Awards, supported by a S$1 million, five-year commitment from Mr. Neo Kah Kiat BBM to recognise and support artists at different stages of their artistic journeys. Shaping Hearts also expanded its reach through a partnership with SMRT, featuring artworks by artists with disabilities as stickers within a Circle Line cabin and bringing inclusive art into everyday spaces.

We are grateful for the overwhelming support from its partners and donors! Together, a record-breaking $787,567 was raised this year to support persons with disabilities in pursuing the arts and creating new opportunities for them.
