Programmes such as community visual arts and performing arts reduce stress, increase social engagement and offer creative outlets for patients and caregivers to express themselves and improve their emotional and mental health.
We welcome creative and artistic individuals, performing groups and schools to collaborate with us. Please contact [email protected].
Our community visual art programme aims to integrate art with its facilities, landscape to create a healing experience for patients, visitors and staff. We are committed to involve the community in the southwest district as well as the hospital staff and patients in co-creating artworks together with local artists.
From making aromatic mandalas with spices, to folding paper carnations to celebrate Mothers’ Day, our patients enjoy a variety of interactive and sensorial art experience at their bedsides brought to them by our volunteers. Art-on-the-Move offers patients a positive diversion, take them down memory lane, improve their fine-motor skills and inspire self-confidence.
Music-on-the-Move brings live music to the bedside to cheer and comfort patients. Working with schools in the region and performance groups, musicians visit NTFGH and JCH regularly to perform uplifting classical music, familiar favourites and oldies that patients can hum along and reminisce together. Regular concerts featuring orchestras and dance performances are held in JCH Community Hub to bring cheer to a larger audience.
