OUR BENEFICIARYVery Special Arts Singapore (VSA)
Very Special Arts Singapore Ltd (VSA) is a registered charity under the National Council of Social Service in Singapore. Founded by Professor Tommy Koh, Singapore’s Ambassadorat-large, on 27 September 1993, VSA Singapore is also affiliated to VSA International in the United States.
Our vision is a world in which people with disabilities are empowered through the arts, contribute to and integrate with the community. Our mission is to create and provide access as well as opportunities for people with disabilities in the arts sphere.
To achieve this, VSA promotes visual, performing and literary arts for people with disabilities. We hold classes and workshops, and host platforms and events towards this goal. In recent years, VSA has established pathways for talented participants to excel in their chosen fields and become career artists.
In March 2018, VSA Singapore produced and presented the inaugural Asia-Pacific performing arts festival, True Colours, which featured disabled dancers and musicians from Asia Pacific together with other local and international performers. VSA has also tied up with local arts institutes to offer training and programmes to our artists.

The Seal Lullaby By Jeanette Choong, Soprano
When I think of baby seals, I imagine them flopping around in their clumsy, blubbery figures; and at times, playfully toppling over with a splash…only to be ensnared by their greatest nightmare - sharks. inserts gory natgeo moment
In a sea of uncertainty (literally), a mother seal coaxes her little one with the comforting words of The Seal Lullaby. In its gentle and almost-tranquillising melody, the song is sealed with the assurance of undisturbed rest “in the arms of the slow-swinging seas”. And don’t we all need that, especially after long and challenging days?
So come excited to listen to this beautiful piece by Eric Whitacre. It definitely has our seal of approval!
