Here’s a look at their exciting lineup.

Hopes & dreams of locals

As we count the days till 2020, you’ll be able to witness light projections that commemorate the New Year in one of the dreamiest ways.

The Fullerton Hotel Merlion, Merlion, and ArtScience Museum will have creative visual facades adapted from artworks by individuals from local social service organisations.

Drawings like starry universes and whimsical worlds represent their hopes and dreams for the future.

Next Sunday (29 Dec), the beneficiaries of Dyslexia Association of Singapore will share their struggle to raise awareness.

Meanwhile, elderly patients and volunteers from Yishun Community Hospital created artworks that will serve as a facade for Merlion and the ArtScience Museum.
