Still Moon Arts Society inspires vibrant and connected communities by creating artistic experiences and nurturing a passion for nature.
Our belief in the power of artistic experiences to move and engage people guides us as we bring together art, environment, and community in East Vancouver, with a specific focus on the Renfrew-Collingwood neighbourhood and Still Creek watershed.
Starting in 2004, we’ve used art to raise awareness and bring about positive change by inspiring & mobilizing the local community to restore Still Creek’s Renfrew Ravine from a neglected dumping ground to a place of natural beauty and educational opportunities.
Over the years, we’ve created dozens of community-engaged eco-art projects; hosted over 20 editions of the ‘Renfrew Ravine Moon Festival,’ an annual celebration of community, art and nature; led hundreds of accessible community art and nature workshops; and expanded our stewardship work to encompass much of the Still Creek Watershed (we are home to the Still Creek Streamkeepers).
Featured Events
Still Creek Streamkeepers water quality data download
Each season, our streamkeeper volunteers download data from water quality data loggers within Still Creek. This data is used for scientific research and to monitor the ecological health of the creek ecosystem. Streamkeepers also help with other activities like monitoring the types and numbers of fish and invertebrates present in Still Creek.
Everyone is welcome to become a streamkeeper! We can teach you everything you need to know.
