Arts@Metta artist Ms Crystal Tay presented one of her artworks to Minister Desmond Lee at the Tampines East CAREkaki session on 31 October 2026, sharing her creative talent with the community.
Crystal, who is on the autism spectrum, developed a passion for digital art from a young age, particularly character illustrations. Through art exhibitions and opportunities to share her work, she has continued to hone her skills.
Held at Tampines East Community Club, the initiative aims to provide suitable activities that encourage participation and strengthen connections within the community.
Mr Desmond Lee, Minister for Education and Minister-in-Charge of Social Services Integration, also interacted with participants, accompanied by Tampines GRC MP Dr Charlene Chen.
Crystal’s journey shows how encouragement, opportunities and the right support can help individual talents flourish. At Metta Welfare Association, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to discover their strengths, pursue their interests and participate meaningfully in the community.
