SINGAPORE, Feb 2, 2023 - (ACN Newswire) - ONERHT Foundation Ltd, the corporate social responsibility vehicle of RHTLaw Asia LLP and the RHT Group of Companies (collectively, "ONERHT"), together with its co-organisers Chui Huay Lim Club and Ee Hoe Hean Club, welcomes members of the public to visit its charity art exhibition and appreciate masterful Chinese paintings and calligraphy artworks.
Held at the Chui Huay Lim Club's Heritage Hall, the exhibition presents Chinese paintings and calligraphy artworks by Hong Kong artists Mr Alfred Cheung and Mr Wong Wai Ho which are up for auction. Successful bidders of these artworks will have the option of converting the artwork into Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), merging the beautiful traditions of Chinese art with cutting edge technology for the certification of authenticity. The service is provided by AlDigi Technologies, a member of the ONERHT ecosystem of multidisciplinary professional services.
The free exhibition opens to the public from 6-8 February, between 10am-6pm. An opening ceremony will be held at 10am on Monday 6 February 2023 at the venue, and the Guests-of-Honour for the opening ceremony would be A/Prof Ho Peng Kee, Patron of ONERHT Foundation, Mr Ng Hoy Keng, President of Chui Huay Lim Club and Mr Aw Chye Wee, Chairman of Ee Hoe Hean Club.
In addition, various Chinese artworks by renowned artists Xu BeiHong (1895 - 1953), Chen Wen Hsi (1906 - 1991), Wang Zhen/Wang YiTing (1867 - 1938) and Lu Yanshao (1909 - 1993) have been lent to the organisers by Mr Yeo Eng Koon for public viewing at the exhibition. A painting by Cultural Medallion Award winner Mr Lee Hock Moh (b. 1947) will also be displayed at the exhibition.
Funds raised through the event will be used to support three local charitable healthcare institutions: Singpapore Thong Chai Medical Institution, Ren Ci Hospital and Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital. Each with its own storied history of service to the community, these three institutions serve thousands of patients every month, regardless of background, race and religion. The funds will enable the three hospitals to expand their services and facilities to support the growing healthcare needs of an ageing population.
Ms Kaylee Kwok, Chairman of ONERHT Foundation, said, "The exhibition supports disadvantaged groups and the arts, both of which are among the core pillars of the ONERHT Foundation's philanthropic mission. We welcome members of the public to visit the exhibition made possible by the efforts of our co-organisers and the generosity of our donors, sponsors and esteemed artists."
Since its inception in 2015, the Foundation has with the support of its donors and sponsors been able to raise more than S$4 million for more than 24 charitable organisations.
