The WeCare Arts Exhibition showcases the talents of the beneficiaries from the Social Service Agencies (SSAs) and Self-Help Groups (SHGs). Through the use of digital platform such as Zoom, what began as challenges are now accepted as a way to deepen engagement with the participants.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we live and how we interact with one another. This exhibition reflects the strength and adaptability of Singaporeans, manifested in the works born out of the imaginations of youths, the expressions of the seniors, and the engaging performances by the special needs.

This exhibition is made possible by the WeCare Arts Fund set up by the five Community Development Council and National Arts Council.
