Celebrating it's 50th year with the theme YOUTHforia!, the annual Singapore Youth Festival remains one of the most important and relevant platforms that celebrates the rich diversity of youth talent in our schools. The youth festival has evolved alongside Singapore’s development. Beginning in 1966 and formally launched on 18 July 1967 by the first President of Singapore, Mr Yusof Ishak, the purpose of the festival was to create a national identity and nurture the talents of our youth from different ethnic groups.

This Contemporary Art Series features 4 paintings - "Moon Festival" by Mr Seah Kim Joo, "Complementary Force" by Mr Thomas Yeo, "Rhythms in Blue" by Enche Yusman and "Gibbons" by Mr Chen Wen Hsi.
