Paragon Turns Mid-Autumn Into an Artful Act of Giving with 50 Unique Rabbit Sculptures

Paragon is bringing a creative twist to Mid-Autumn celebrations this year with 50 one-of-a-kind rabbit sculptures, combining art, design and community giving at the Orchard Road shopping destination from 2 to 27 September 2026.

Presented as part of Mid-Autumn Lumière, the initiative sees Paragon collaborate with Raffles Design Institute (RDI) and ART:DIS Singapore to reinterpret the traditional Moon Rabbit through contemporary artworks. The project also receives matching donations from CapitaLand Hope Foundation (CHF), helping to increase the impact of funds raised for artists with disabilities.

The 50 sculptures will take centre stage against a luminous moon backdrop inside Paragon, while another 50 rabbit sculptures will be placed along the mall’s exterior landscaping to create a visual trail leading visitors towards the main installation.

Each sculpture offers a distinct interpretation of the familiar Mid-Autumn symbol, reflecting the perspectives and creative disciplines of RDI students and ART:DIS artists. The works incorporate the artists’ individual painting techniques alongside students’ expertise in areas including fashion design and marketing, jewellery design and product design.

Four of the 50 sculptures have also been designed by guest contributors from Singapore’s public, business, philanthropic and design communities. They are Mr Eric Chua, Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Law and Ministry of Social and Family Development; Mr Ervin Yeo, Group Chief Strategy Officer and CEO, Commercial Management, CapitaLand Investment; Mr Tony Tan, Chief Corporate Officer, CapitaLand Development, and Executive Director, CapitaLand Hope Foundation; and Mr Giuseppe (Joe) Spinelli, Principal and Programme Director of Fashion Design and Marketing, and Jewellery Design at Raffles College of Higher Education.

Visitors will have the opportunity to turn the artworks into a charitable contribution through Paragon’s Adopt a Rabbit programme. All 50 bespoke sculptures are available for adoption at S$800 each, with proceeds donated to ART:DIS to support greater opportunities and inclusion for artists with disabilities.

Shoppers can scan the QR code displayed beside each sculpture or access Paragon’s e catalogue through its website to view the artworks and select their preferred piece. Donations will be made directly to ART:DIS, which is a registered Institution of a Public Character. The organisation will issue tax deductible receipts and coordinate collection arrangements directly with donors.

The sculptures will remain on display until 27 September, giving visitors time to view the complete collection before adopted pieces are collected by their new owners.

The initiative is also part of CapitaLand’s #GivingAsOne campaign. Through CapitaLand Hope Foundation, contributions from adopted rabbits will be matched dollar for dollar, up to S$40,000.

Funds raised will support ART:DIS’ Foundation Visual Arts Programme, which provides children and youths with disabilities access to artistic development and creative opportunities while creating pathways towards greater inclusion.

Beyond the art installations, Paragon is also marking the season with a curated Mid-Autumn gifting showcase featuring Janice Wong, Old Seng Choong and Christofle.

Janice Wong will offer a limited-edition lantern box of baked mooncakes alongside its signature chocolate mooncakes in new flavours. Old Seng Choong will present six baked mooncake flavours paired with a tea set and exclusive rock tea leaves, while Christofle will showcase an elegant tablescape featuring the French Maison’s signature tableware.

Throughout September, Paragon’s atrium will host a programme of activities celebrating the sights, sounds and traditions of Mid-Autumn. Selected weekends will feature live instrumental performances incorporating traditional Chinese instruments, while Paragon Club members can take part in candle customisation workshops.

Families can also look forward to complimentary face painting and balloon sculpting through Paragon Junior activities. The activities are available for children aged two and above.

Paragon Club members can also enjoy seasonal rewards from 2 to 27 September. Members who spend at least S$1,000 across up to three combined same day receipts can receive an exclusive 290 Grand Reserve Tea Set.

Created exclusively for Paragon, the 290 Grand Reserve tea is a blend of lightly roasted mountain oolong and dragon well tea with citrus, floral neroli and delicate fruit notes.

With its combination of contemporary art, festive dining and gifting, family activities and charitable giving, Paragon’s Mid Autumn Lumière offers visitors a chance to celebrate the season while supporting greater inclusion for artists and communities in Singapore.
