Two free children’s art exhibitions to spark imagination and family conversations
These events – one by Singapore Art Museum, another by Club Rainbow – inspire kids' creativity.
Two free children's art exhibitions are set to spark imagination and family conversations in Singapore from August 15 to September 5. At the National Library Building's Basement 1 and Level 7, the Hello Future: Adventure Awaits exhibition showcases artwork by children from 24 pre-schools. Running concurrently is the Rainbow Studio: Dreamseeds visual arts exhibition at Marina Square atrium on level 2, from August 20 to 23.
This unique exhibition features artwork by young artists living with chronic illnesses and disabilities.
The Hello Future exhibition, presented by the Singapore Art Museum (SAM) as part of its seventh Think! Contemporary Preschool programme, highlights the children's ability to explore, question and express ideas through art. Supported by the National Institute of Early Childhood Development, pre-schoolers worked alongside teachers and visual art students to create their pieces. SAM deputy director Pauline Cheong emphasizes that art allows children to communicate their thoughts before they can articulate them verbally.
The Rainbow Studio exhibition, run by Club Rainbow (Singapore), aims to nurture young talent with chronic illnesses and disabilities. Executive director Teo Siang Loong believes that the arts can build resilience, confidence, and community participation. The diverse artwork on display encourages viewers to appreciate the courage, perseverance, and possibilities inherent in each piece.
Families are invited to engage with the art, participate in hands-on activities, and support the young artists through artwork purchases and merchandise.
