Social Creatives Ltd is an Institute of Public Character that operates as a Creative Enterprise (subset of social enterprise). We are guided by our artistic and social impact, to create colours in our social fabric, to engage, to educate and to expose arts and creativity in the society. Our motivations are through the first form of communication - Cave Drawings (Commonly known as murals). Through
the approach similar to a paintbrush, the different feathers come together to ignite social change and create masterpieces. As such, we believe in inclusion of communities, cross sector collaborations, art for social change and art elevating individuals from emotional poverty. Our efforts started in 2006 through the painting of dustbins in Orchard Road and to date, we have created over 500 artworks, transformed 600 one-room flats and benefited over 60 welfare organizations. However, numbers does not motivate the team but the lives we have impacted does. A common story shared is of of Mr Chandra Kumar, who was formerly a drug addict and was diagnosed with diabetes resulting in the amputation of his legs. Despite all this, he would be watching us from a distance with a smile whenever we were at one of our Void Deck Galleries. He explained that he stayed alone in his one-room flat but the art gallery gave him comfort and hope especially when visitors painted at his neighbourhood. It is through these encounters that our hearts are touched and we are compelled to do even more. Our programmes include public artworks, art in social services, canvas painting and of one room flats. We are sustained through Social Enterprise models such as corporate team-building and commissioned artworks and special projects.
