In a super-aged society like Singapore’s, arts-based approaches have the potential to alleviate adversities faced by the elderly—including frailty, cognitive decline and social isolation.
Whether through learning a musical instrument, singing together or participating in intergenerational arts experiences, our programmes encourage seniors to remain socially connected, creatively engaged and emotionally fulfilled.
Through the arts, ageing is reframed as a positive journey of continued growth, meaning and hope.
Community Angklung Project
Each project culminates in a ‘graduation’ showcase—participants perform and share their newly-acquired craft with residents in a nearby eldercare facility, further expanding the community ties among seniors.
Sing Out Loud!
As of 2025, one in 11 Singaporeans aged 60 and above lives with dementia. Drawing on the brain’s preserved capacity for musical memory and appreciation, we conceptualised Sing Out Loud! in partnership with Dementia Singapore.
Across eight weeks, participants living with mild to moderate dementia come together for group singing. Supported by artist-facilitators and volunteers, these sessions create space for self-expression, reminiscence and social connection.
The programme culminates in a showcase at Esplanade, where caregivers witness how music can unlock memories, stories and moments of connection with their loved ones.
