Still Moon Arts Society inspires vibrant and connected communities by creating artistic experiences and nurturing a passion for nature.
Guided by our belief in the transformative power of the arts, we bring together creativity, environmental stewardship, and community engagement in East Vancouver—focusing especially on the Renfrew-Collingwood neighbourhood and the Still Creek watershed.
Since 2004, we have used the arts to raise awareness and drive positive change, helping restore Still Creek’s Renfrew Ravine from a neglected dumping ground into a cherished green space and outdoor learning hub.
Over the years, we’ve created dozens of community-engaged eco-art projects, hosted more than 20 editions of the Renfrew Ravine Moon Festival—an annual celebration of art, nature, and community—and offered hundreds of accessible workshops connecting people with nature and the arts. We’ve created the Colour-Me-Local Natural Dye Garden, an outdoor art space next to the Ravine where we now host many of our workshops. Our stewardship work has grown to encompass much of Vancouver’s Still Creek watershed, and we proudly host the Still Creek Streamkeepers.
We invite you to explore our programs and find a way to take part that feels meaningful to you. With hands-on projects and volunteer opportunities for all ages, there are many ways to connect with the land, with others, and with your creativity.
Featured Events
Blackberry Removal & Riparian Grass Seeding
Join us for a morning of blackberry removal and grass seeding! We will work together to remove blackberry plants that are impeding our native plants. We’ll then learn about native riparian grasses and seed them along the creek.
No experience necessary- Still Moon will provide all of the tools, gloves, and support you need to get planting!

Gardeners’ Gatherings at the Dye Garden
Join the Still Moon team for some fun getting your hands dirty, connecting with gardeners in the community, and exchanging gardening knowledge. At Gardeners’ Gatherings, we weed, water, and maintain the Colour-Me-Local Dye Garden, which provides the dye, fibre and medicine plants that Still Moon uses in its community arts programs.
Activities depend on the plants and the weather. This session will likely feature: Tidy up the Garden, Sowing Seeds.
