Majulah, Together: 41 Artists Share Their Hopes For Singapore Through The NDP Packs
National Day Parade (NDP) szn is back, and so are the iconic NDP packs. Part souvenir, part survival kit, and part collectible, this year’s designs are *chef’s kiss*.
For the sixth year in a row, the NDP Executive Committee has teamed up with SG Enable. And for the first time ever, ARTDIS (Arts & Disability) Singapore has joined the partnership. Together, artists from the two organisations have co-created artwork for this year’s NDP Packs, shining a light on the diverse talents of artists with disabilities from different generations.
Part of SG Enable’s i’mable initiative, this collaboration champions inclusion and celebrates the abilities of persons with disabilities – a powerful reflection of this year’s National Day theme: “Majulah Singapura”.
More than just our National Anthem, “Majulah Singapura” is a timeless call for progress – a reminder that our strength lies not only in how far we’ve come, but in the shared values and trust that unite us.
A total of 41 artists took part – 20 students from SPED schools (aged 10–18) engaged by SG Enable, and 21 artists from ARTDIS (aged 20–73). The SPED students envisioned a future shaped by care and community, while the ARTDIS artists drew on Singapore’s past, anchoring their designs in boldness, resilience, and multiculturalism.
Together, their artworks don’t just decorate this year’s NDP Packs – they carry the spirit of “Majulah”: hope, courage, and unity for the journey ahead.
