Just BrewIN featuring
Visual Arts Hub and Arts Behind Bars

Visual Arts Hub (VAH), established within the Changi Prison Complex in 2009, serves as a transformative platform for male inmate artists, offering them a fresh start and an opportunity to redefine their lives through creative expression.

The Arts Behind Bars (ABB) programme, introduced in 2020, extends this initiative to female inmates, enabling them to acquire new skills and find their voice through art.

Many of our participating inmates began their artistic journey without prior experience. They develop their skills by learning from seasoned peers within the programme and attending art classes conducted by dedicated volunteers. The artworks created in these programmes are available for purchase, with proceeds supporting the Yellow Ribbon Fund.

Vision

Enabling ex-offenders to achieve sustainable careers, build cohesive families and lead positive lives.

Mission

To promote self-esteem and economic independence in ex-offenders while guiding them towards good citizenship and good value systems.

Throughout the journey from incarceration to reintegration, our throughcare approach stands out as a comprehensive and compassionate strategy designed to address the unique challenges faced by ex-offenders at every stage of their reintegration journey.
