The Art Therapists’ Association Singapore is a non-partisan, not-for-profit professional body which is run and regulated by its members. It was established in 2008 to represent the emerging profession of art therapy in Singapore and aims to advance its growth and development. It stands as a professional association of integrity and vision to support, serve and advocate for its members, while upholding ethics and standards for the art therapy practice in Singapore.
Ms Sim Siew Ching, General Manager, The Red Pencil (Singapore)
The Red Pencil (Singapore) is an Institution of Public Character and a registered charity founded in Singapore in 2011 with a mission to bring the benefits of creative arts therapy (drawing, music, movement and dance) to less privileged children, adults and families who have been through overwhelming and traumatic life circumstances. The process of creative arts therapy allows our service users to express the unspeakable, experience release and relief, find new resources inside and outside, gain self-confidence and new perspectives, and feel empowered to move on towards a more hopeful and happier life.
