Design for WEllness
Would you like your artwork to be displayed in libraries? Come join us at Design for Wellness (DFWs) 2023!
We are bring back DFWs with in-person workshops and fun-filled activities for all ages between December 2023 and January of 2024!
“Design for Wellness” is a community-based project where Singaporeans across the country were invited to join and co-create designs to transform spaces in the library into physical wellness checkpoints. Since its launch, we received over 90 unique submissions which have now been transformed into 350 decals displayed around the Woodlands Regional Library.
With the amazing response to this project last year, we will be bringing Design for WEllness to another 6 locations. We are excited to see all your creative work and submissions! If you are interested to have your work displayed, do keep a lookout on our social media for more updates and submission details.
This year, we will be conducting a total of 14 workshop sessions at these 7 libraries in Singapore. All the artworks that are shortlisted will be displayed there!

Background
The aim of “Design for Wellness” is to encourage people in the community to take the first step towards being more intentional in caring about their well-being. These wellness checkpoints serve as visual and artistic reminders of the importance of consistent and proactive maintenance of well-being. Using a co-creation approach, the project also provides the public with greater involvement and ownership of a shared community space.
We hope that by transforming community spaces around Singapore into wellness checkpoints, the decals will be able to encourage conversations around wellness as well as encourage individuals to take action and care for their well-being.
The launch event for our first Design for Wellness was held on 17th May 2022 with Minister of State Ms Sun Xueling as the Guest-of-Honour. The event was also attended by various other leaders from healthcare, mental healthcare, and social service organisations in the vicinity of Woodlands and Singapore.
