Healing Arts Singapore
Across Singapore, artists and cultural organisations worked alongside communities, health partners and funders to create new spaces for reflection, connection and care. Healing Arts Singapore in Practice brought this work into one shared experience, demonstrating how the arts moved from an inspiring idea into meaningful public health practice.
Through a series of short artist showcases and a moderated discussion, the session explored the development and impact of the Healing Arts Singapore Artist Commissions, alongside the role of cultural institutions, artists and cross-sector partners in advancing arts and health. It also introduced the next phase of the Healing Arts Singapore Pilot Projects, which will support locally led approaches across community, healthcare and cultural settings.
This session introduced Healing Arts Singapore and demonstrated how artists, cultural organisations, health partners and communities were already putting arts-and-health practice into action. It was discussion-led, supported by short experiential sound, music and visual examples of the Healing Arts Singapore Artist Commissions.
The session introduced:
- Healing Arts Singapore and its wider aims.
- Platformed selected work from the Healing Arts Singapore Artist Commissions.
- Healing Arts Singapore Pilot Projects.
- Demonstrate the arts as both a health-promoting behaviour and a form of cultural infrastructure.
