Formerly known as Very Special Arts Singapore, ART:DIS is a non-profit organisation established in 1993, championing the learning and livelihood opportunities for persons with disabilities (PwDs) in and through the arts.

Across our 3 art centres in the community, we provide a wide range of arts education programmes to enable over 600 children and youths with disabilities to develop their artistic interests, grow their self-confidence and engage them as active members of a supported community, outside of and beyond formal education.

Our parallel professional development pathways further supports artists with disabilities to gain relevant work experience, access to industry networks and platforms, raising the visibility and artistic excellence of their practice.

At ART:DIS, we value the unique strengths and perspectives of persons with disabilities and believe the arts offers us a lens to connect with each other, adding diversity to how we experience the world together.
