ting the power of art to transcend boundaries.

"The Art of Everyone" goes beyond conventional boundaries, embracing the essence of inclusivity, only utilising waste and second hand materials. Through the lens of upcycled art, the exhibition sheds light on the narratives of underserved communities — elderly, migrant workers, low-income women, teenage mothers, special needs youth and various interesting individuals.

What was once destined for landfills finds new life in these portraits. Every fabric and textile piece you see has been rescued and repurposed, it symbolises the sustainable transformation achievable when creativity intersects with a commitment to environmental responsibility. Sustainability = creativity.

This mural is more than just the physical artwork. It’s about the stories of the people behind these portraits. Throughout the month of December, Fashion Parade orchestrated transformative workshops where artists from organisations such as AWWA Active Ageing Community, Daughters of Tomorrow, Babes, Singapore Fashion Runway, SASCO Active Ageing Community, Breast Cancer Foundation, and Humanitarian Organisation for Migrant Economics, embraced their creativity to share their stories and identities through portraiture.

Join us and witness the impact of art on the stories of us all.
