Canvas of Hope
When Art Meets Advocacy
Join us in a rare, extraordinary collaboration between world-renowned Chinese artist Liu Bolin and Rare Disorders Society (Singapore) to raise S$1 million in support of children with rare diseases and their families.
About the Event
Canvas of Hope is an art-meets-advocacy campaign that brings together international artist Liu Bolin and the Rare Disorders Society (Singapore) [RDSS] to spotlight the lives of children with rare diseases. This event marks Liu’s first collaboration with a Singapore-based charity, bridging artistic vision with social purpose.
Through two milestone events, this campaign hopes to raise S$1 million to fund therapy, medical equipment, and caregiving support for more than 200 rare disorder patients in Singapore.
Art Activation, Art Workshop & Gallery Showcase
(14 Sep 2025)
Liu Bolin conducts a one-day art class for children with rare disorders and their caregivers, culminating in a public exhibition, The Rare Gallery, featuring their collective creations.
Art Fundraising & Gala Dinner
(28 Mar 2026)
Up to four original works by Liu Bolin, inspired by children’s stories, along with other Singapore-created and selected pieces, will be sold to raise critical funds.
The Collaboration
Canvas of Hope marks Liu Bolin’s first collaboration with a Singapore-based charity, bridging artistic vision with social purpose. The initiative is made possible through a tri-partnership between Liu Bolin Studio, the Rare Disorders Society (Singapore), and Yang Gallery — combining artistic mastery, community impact, and curatorial expertise in one meaningful project.
