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-building in Vancouver—focusing especially on the Renfrew-Collingwood neighbourhood and the Still Creek watershed.
Reflecting on Water participants create felted fish while they discuss their relationship with water. Later this year, the fish will be used in a film and a performance with the Water Woman giant puppet.
Featured Events
Invasive Removal & Ink Making at Mid Ravine
Help Still Moon remove encroaching blackberry and use the plants to make ink! At this stewardship session, we will both remove invasive species and learn to make natural Ink. Learn to identify and remove blackberry and other invasive plants, and to recognize our native species.
After the stewardship portion, we will make one or two natural inks together. We will also provide paper and brushes to try the natural inks. Be sure to bring a jar to bring home some ink!

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, so we can’t make any guarantees. This session will likely feature natural dye experiments, watering and weeding.
