The SG60 WeCare Arts Exhibition, a month-long event celebrating Singapore’s 60 years of nation-building, has opened at the National Gallery Singapore. Supported by the National Arts Council and the National Gallery, the exhibition features over 780 community artists from Social Service Agencies (SSAs) and Self-Help Groups (SHGs), showcasing artworks that reflect the hopes and aspirations of underserved communities. The exhibition, running from 16 September to 12 October 2025, aligns with the National Arts Council’s Our SG Arts Plan 2023–2027, aiming to broaden access to the arts and deepen community engagement.
Curated by the National Gallery Singapore, the exhibition is themed “Our Community SG60 and Beyond” and features 30 artworks by beneficiaries aged seven to 95. These artworks are divided into three thematic sections: “Shared Stories, Our Memories,” “Many Hands, Our Collective Spirit,” and “Together, We Imagine the Future.” The exhibition highlights the importance of community voices in shaping Singapore’s cultural narrative.
Minister Edwin Tong, alongside the Mayors, officially opened the exhibition on 16 September 2025.
Since 2014, the WeCare Arts Fund has empowered over 24,700 beneficiaries, fostering social cohesion and inclusivity. A recent grant extension of $600,000 will enable the continuation of impactful arts programmes. This year’s SG60 edition marks the fourth WeCare Arts Exhibition, following previous events at Our Tampines Hub, Wisma Geylang Serai, and the National Museum Singapore.
