The ‘More Art. Made Inclusive.’ exhibition presents 17 curated artworks, including eight winning entries from UOL X ART:DIS Art Prize 2025, five artworks from Rainbow Centre’s Artability Programme and four expressions by an 11-year-old aspiring artist from ComLink+. Held at Punggol Library, this inclusive art exhibition puts a spotlight on artists from diverse backgrounds supported by UOL – ART:DIS, Rainbow Centre and ComLink+ @ Jurong West.
At the heart of the exhibition stands ‘OPENHeART’, a 2.1-metre-tall community sculpture comprising 240 tiles, creatively decorated by the artists, seniors from AWWA Senior Community Home and children from Care Corner Student Care Centres, staff from UOL, as well as President Tharman Shanmugaratnam who penned a note on his personal tile before he officiated the launch of the exhibition.
UOL Group Chief Executive Liam Wee Sin said: “We are honoured by the President’s presence and support at this event. At UOL, promoting inclusivity is a cause close to our hearts. As a steadfast partner to various social service agencies, we have immersed ourselves in the communities we serve, reframing our strategy to corporate social responsibility (CSR) over time. We adopt a uniquely UOL integrated approach that emphasises cross-beneficiary engagement programmes. We bring together the social service agencies we support into a single collaborative community. By doing so, we create a multiplier effect of engagement, fostering meaningful relationships among artists, children, the seniors and UOL staff – all through the shared language of art.”
UOL’s cross-beneficiary engagement approach was brought to life through the participation of 15 seniors from AWWA Senior Community Home and 22 children from Care Corner Student Care Centres, who experienced the exhibition and joined an intergenerational 3D pen art workshop led by UOL volunteers. They produced a variety of 3D shapes and forms through a hands-on activity. A total of 21 UOL volunteers supported the event and engaged the children and elderly throughout the session.
Cross-beneficiary engagement is a CSR approach introduced by UOL that brings together different beneficiary groups to participate in shared activities as a community. This model fosters interaction between groups such as artists with disabilities, youth, children and seniors, strengthens social inclusion, deepens relationships and creates meaningful learning opportunities.
This marks the first time UOL has brought together beneficiaries from four of the social service agencies it supports on a single platform. The initiative builds on continued engagement with the community through art, following the seniors’ and children’s visit to last year’s UOL X ART:DIS Art Prize 2025 exhibition in September 2025. UOL has supported AWWA and Care Corner Singapore since 2014 and 2018 respectively, and has championed inclusive arts since 2014.
Beyond the gallery walls, the launch was a vibrant celebration of connection across generations, capped off by a lively performance by children from Care Corner Student Care Centres.
More than an art exhibition, ‘More Art. Made Inclusive.’ is a unique space that brings together diverse voices and creates meaningful opportunities for expression and community engagement.
Members of the public are invited to come and explore this inspiring display of artistic talent at Punggol Library, running till 3 May 2026.
