ART:DIS Bukit Merah (formerly known as Very Special Arts Singapore)
"Formerly known as Very Special Arts Singapore, ART:DIS is a non-profit organisation that champions the learning and livelihood opportunities for persons with disabilities (PwDs) in the arts.
We provide a wide range of programmes to enable PwDs to develop their artistic interests, grow their self-confidence and be engaged as active members of a supported community. Our parallel professional development pathways further supports sustainable & meaningful impact for PwDs to gain work experience, empowering them to live independently in the community.
At ART:DIS, we value the unique strengths and perspectives of PwDs and believe the arts offers us a lens to understand who they are, to connect with and to experience the world together."
