Angkor Art Gallery and Galilee Investment Management Unite for Charity Art Auction Supporting Survivors in Cambodia and Singapore
Singapore, 20 June 2025 — At the heart of Galilee Investment Management’s Inaugural Investor Appreciation Party and 5-Year Anniversary celebration at Seletar Country Club, something deeper resonated beyond the music, networking, and toasts. In collaboration with Angkor Art Gallery, the evening became a powerful platform for social change through art.
The highlight of the evening was a charity art auction curated by Angkor Art Gallery, with proceeds benefiting two impactful causes: the Galilee Foundation and the Cambodian Women’s Crisis Center (CWCC). Together, these organizations support underprivileged families and women affected by domestic violence, sexual abuse, and human trafficking—both in Singapore and Cambodia.
During her keynote speech, Zhi Ying, founder of Angkor Art Gallery, shared the mission behind the collaboration:
“Art connects people. It gives us something to talk about, and more importantly, it gives us something to fight for. This wasn’t just about auctioning artwork—it was about standing up for those who have been silenced.”
The auction was also aligned with the gallery’s ongoing “Save Mommy” campaign, a charity movement first launched in Singapore in 2016 and revived in Cambodia in 2024 to raise support for women and children who are survivors of abuse. The artworks auctioned that night weren’t just visual statements—they were voices for the unheard.
A portion of the funds raised supported the Galilee Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Galilee Investment Management, which provides financial aid, education, and healthcare access to low-income families in Singapore. Through this foundation, Galilee continues its mission to build a more inclusive and compassionate society—where the disadvantaged are not forgotten.
Since 1997, CWCC has also made a remarkable impact, supporting over 7,000 women and children with safe shelter, legal aid, trauma therapy, vocational training, and reintegration services. In 2024 alone, the center assisted 453 survivors and 224 family members.
Guests at the event were invited to take home not just artworks, but symbols of hope. One lucky bidder received a Rolex watch as part of the night’s appreciation draw, while others walked away with original Southeast Asian art, knowing their contributions were making a real difference.
Special thanks go to the evening’s generous sponsors: Crowe Singapore, Nesuto Singapore, and Mr. Taitoon Lim of the Manhattan Life Foundation, whose support brought the vision to life.
“Every artwork taken home tonight is more than a piece of beauty,” Zhi Ying concluded. “It’s a statement—that we see these women, we hear them, and we’re walking this journey with them.”
Angkor Art Gallery continues its commitment to using art as a bridge between cultures, causes, and communities, and looks forward to building more partnerships that make real impact across Southeast Asia.
