Testimonials
I had an enriching and enjoyable time meddling around with clay and drawing at the session “Coping with Anxiety through Art”. As for the turtle I saw in my doodling, I thought of “Turtle Tango” – even when I’m slow I can still dance and enjoy the process with the One Who dances over me! – Lay Leng, 2022
The art experiential session on anxiety raised my awareness of how I could not even let go of the control that was causing issues in my life. I managed to take baby steps and started to see hope. – Annie, 2022
I was amazed that the Holy Spirit appeared in my artwork as represented by a dove as I started to let go. I experienced newfound freedom during the session. – Pat, 2022
Thanks for the session today, it is an exercise on spirituality – Josh, 2022
Veon worked with some of the children whose lives were changed for the better. Art therapy allowed them to process traumas from their dysfunctional families and provided a space safe for restoration. – Pris, 2021
Thank you for guiding me on self-portraits through art therapy. I saw how my self-identity was transformed over a few months. I feel more stable and am now able to manage stressful situations better. – Adel, 2020
About us
Arting Hearts is a social enterprise that provides evidence-based art experiences for people of all ages, with or without any form of arts background. Art-making has the potential to empower individuals, increase self-awareness, and improve emotional and mental health when it takes place in the presence of a professional art therapist. From clay work to paints, textiles to crafts, individuals and groups can have the freedom to explore a whole range of art materials and work with their desired choice of medium.
Arting Hearts provides online and face-to-face clinical art therapy for emotional and mental health, as well as arts-based activities that focus on play and general wellness for both groups and individuals. Our regular NGO/VWO/SSO partners are spread over a wide spectrum, with beneficiaries ranging from children of incarcerated parents, youths with mental health conditions or special needs, adults from community psychiatric rehabilitation, elderly at day care centers, and end-of-life palliative care patients.
As a social enterprise, Arting Hearts also provides mentoring and training either on a one-to-one basis or in a group setting, to equip beneficiaries belonging to vulnerable groups with the skills and resiliency to cope more adaptively with upcoming job interviews and workplace challenges.
As art therapists and mental health professionals, it is our hope to raise awareness of mental health issues and reduce societal stigma. We do this by providing awareness talks at corporations, schools and other institutions, as well as develop art-based tools to help employees better manage their stress and emotions that stem from work or interpersonal relationships, thereby promoting holistic wellness in the workplace.
About our brand
‘Arting’ is used in the present participle form of ‘art’ to indicate an active process; the act of making art. We believe that the arts has a way of connecting hearts on a level that no other modality can. Art empowers individuals and restores wellness; connects people and builds community; and reaches out to those whose words escape them.
