CURIO is an art fundraiser organised by Rainbow Centre, a charity serving persons with disabilities, showcasing 45 works of art by talented youths who share their perspectives and observations of the world.
We aim to raise $250,000 to empower our work through three key areas of needs: Enabling low resource families to access services, reducing caregiver stress and social isolation through services such as special student care and adult community programmes and developing research and innovation driven practices in Rainbow Centre.
In a time when open-mindedness is more necessary than ever, this exhibition encourages us to see beyond the familiar and to value curiosity as a catalyst for understanding. Through their art, these youths reveal beauty in diverse perspectives, reminding us that inclusion is the path to a more vibrant, empathetic world.
As Singapore advances towards a more inclusive society, it is vital for platforms where the public can look beyond disabilities and learn about the individuals behind the ‘special needs’ label. They too have interests, hopes and dreams of a good life. We invite you to experience their work at the CURIO showcase from 5–12 Oct and bring along friends and family. Let’s come together to shape a future where inclusion is not just an ideal, but a lived reality for all.
