About
We Nurture Artistic Talent in the Special Needs Community: The Vision of Painting Dreams Alive by Heritouch Gallery
Our Story
Our journey began with a passion for art and a desire to make a difference. Richie Chai and Tan Hui Teng, founders of Heritouch Gallery, transitioned from their careers in IT and insurance to create a platform that celebrates contemporary art. Their inspiration to launch Painting Dreams Alive came from witnessing the dedication of artist Ben Chong and the stories of parents with special needs children. Since our inaugural charity exhibition in September 2023, we have been committed to nurturing artistic talent and providing opportunities for young artists with special needs. Our history is a testament to our dedication to fostering creativity and making a meaningful impact.
- Founders' Transition: Art passion led career shift.
- Inspiration and Launch: Inspired by artist and parent stories.
- Commitment and Growth: Empowering artists through exhibitions and support.
