Community Engagement

Bringing the joy of the arts to underserved communities

Ensuring the arts are accessible to diverse and underserved communities is at the heart of Esplanade’s Community Engagement efforts. We believe that the arts can help build confidence, heal broken spirits and bring people closer. Our wide range of Community Engagement activities through the year makes tangible the power of the arts to transform and enrich lives.

 

Our strategic focus areas are:

 

  • Arts & Active Aging

  • Arts & Social Inclusion

  • Arts & Youth Mental Health

  • Arts & Caregiving

 

Esplanade organises some 600 activities each year for over 14,000 beneficiaries. They include vulnerable children and youth, the elderly, persons with diverse needs and disabilities, migrant workers, those in crisis situations, as well as beneficiaries from low-income households.
