Dates and Times: 26 to 31 Dec 2024, 8 pm to 10:30 pm nightly (until 10:45 pm on 31 Dec 2024)
The Brightening Lives light projections are back, showcasing incredible artworks by talented artists with disabilities from ART:DIS, a local non-profit organisation which seeks to provide learning and livelihood opportunities for persons with disabilities through art.
The artworks encourage the community to reflect on what it means to thrive in Singapore where everyone, regardless of background or circumstance, has an opportunity to succeed. From 26 to 31 December 2024, the facade of The Fullerton Hotel Singapore will come alive with a display of three newly commissioned artworks that explore themes such as teamwork, diversity and overcoming mental health challenges, in addition to five adapted artworks that speak of the spirit of a thriving nation.
Running every 15 minutes from 8 pm to 10:30 pm nightly (until 10:45 pm on 31 December 2024), the vivid artwork projections will collectively tell a story of tenacity, resilience and progress. The story presents the aspirations and hopes of childhood which evolve as each person takes flight into the world beyond, where they blossom after overcoming each new challenge as they journey through life.
Five other existing artworks by accomplished ART:DIS artists will also be adapted and projected alongside the commissioned pieces. For these artists and their families, showcasing their work at the Marina Bay Singapore Countdown is a powerful affirmation of their talents and the value they bring.
Some of these artworks have been featured as merchandise by ART:DIS to support artists with disabilities. You can contribute to this meaningful cause by purchasing memorabilia of this iconic celebration here.
