What if museums weren’t just for masterpieces but for messy feelings? What if art festivals gave the spotlight not only to the notable, but to the neglected? National Gallery Singapore’s Strength Through Art (stART) programme reaches out to vulnerable youths in partnership with social service agency, Fei Yue Community Services. This initiative draws out youths who are in isolation or not actively engaged in society to transform their feelings and thoughts into creative works of art. Their works, when showcased during the Gallery’s signature festival, Light To Night, became a tool for advocacy to reshape society’s views on youth who are Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET).
