We are delighted to share with you that Healing Arts Singapore (HASG) will take place in Singapore from 8th to 12th December 2025!
We are currently in the developmental stages of organising this activation and would love to hear from the Singaporean arts and health community so we can tailor the content of the activation to suit your needs.
This five-day activation will be co-led and co-hosted by the National University of Singapore’s (NUS) Centre for Music and Health (CMH) at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, the University of the Arts Singapore's (UAS) Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA), and the Jameel Arts & Health Lab in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO).
The arts are intricately tied to human well-being, social connection, and thriving, playing a vital role in many aspects of our lives. There is growing recognition, globally and locally in Singapore, of the power of the arts and creative arts therapies to effectively support health, well-being, and social connection. The integration of arts as a health resource not only demonstrates its healing potential in clinical environments but also promotes health and well-being at the community level. In response to this, the Jameel Arts and Health Lab, in collaboration with the WHO, have created the global Healing Arts Campaign. Comprised of city and country-wide activations, events, exhibitions, and dialogues — Healing Arts Singapore (HASG) will be the first nationwide Healing Arts activation in Asia.
We look forward to hearing from you and to your participation in the event. We also appreciate your help in forwarding this invitation to any contacts for whom the event may be of interest. Save the dates!
