Embracing Different Strokes
Events are opportunities to showcase what our special needs community can do, in addition to creating awareness.
TER @ PURPLE PARADE
Artists at work at the biggest event, Purple Parade, showcasing the abilities of our special people in Singapore.
TER has been a familiar face in the annual Purple Parade movement. The Purple Parade is a movement that supports the inclusion & celebrates the abilities of persons with special needs and aims to build a more inclusive society. It includes a host of events including a parade contingent, carnival and a concert!
TER @ POP UP Events
DBS PayLah! in collaboration with SCAPE, organised a bazaar featuring over 80 pop-up stores and performances. This event accepts only QR code payments - the first of its kind in Singapore! TER was part of this landmark event held in 2017.
Singapore’s biggest watersports festival, the DBS Marina Regatta, took place in the waters of Marina Bay against the backdrop of Singaopre’s new financial centre. In 2013, as part of its corporate social responsibility efforts, DBS offered close to 30 social enterprises a platform to share their causes and promote their products and services. TER was among those invited to be part of the Regatta’s Social Enterprise Carnival. TER continues to join events that provide opportunities to showcase our special needs’ talents
TER @ Ngee Ann Polytechnic
We have collaborated with Ngee Ann Polytechnic on various occasions! In 2017, we worked with student volunteers from the Outdoor Adventure Club to provide a rock-climbing day out with our artists and had the students help set up and project manage (over a 3-month period) our art exhibition Everyday Secrets held at Capitol Piazza.
TER collaborated with the NP Arts Fiesta 2013 to feature TER artist Kenny Tan's works. They were showcased in an art exhibition and displayed as installation art on the Admin Field, where his animals were transformed into mascots. TER also sold handicrafts made by our TER artists.
TER @ Community Events
We have participated and collaborated with many organisations to provide the public a collaborative painting experience with our artists at the following venues:
Gardens By the Bay
Bishan park where we covered a portion of the park with our artists works at PA’s Land Arts initiative
PA's Kindness Week community event in Bedok
Goodman Arts Centre "Tanjong Goodman" Open House
Save Our Street Dogs carnival at Scape (pictured here!)
TER @ Corporate Events
We hosted an art exhibition event @ DBS at Marina Bay Financial Centre to showcase the original works of our artists, featuring Yeak Ping Lian, a prodigious savant artist.
TER @ RunningHour event
We joined our partner Running Hour in their unique Empathy Run alongside the special needs.
Here we showcased their artistic works.
TER @ Giving Back Event
As part of our mission TER wants our special needs that they too can give back to society though their works.
We organised and ran events whereby part of the sales proceeds will be donated directly to the charities of the choice of the buyers.
TER @ Autism Awareness Roadshow
Whenever possible we want to raise the level of awareness about Autism with the community and share the long and often times very emotional journey of the caregivers, their ups and downs, their joys in seeing the vast development of their charges and because of that devotion, the life changing growth in themselves as well.
