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).
