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 specific focus on the Renfrew-Collingwood neighbourhood and Still Creek watershed
Since 2004, we have used art to raise awareness and bring about positive change by mobilizing the local community to restore the Renfrew Ravine from a neglected dumping ground to a place of natural beauty, and educational opportunities.
Featured Events
Our Water Conversation:
Stories & Natural Dyes
Share your water-related memories, stories, and hopes during an intercultural water dialogue featuring guest speakers Lori Snyder and Masa Kateb & Eda Ertan of Quantum Care. Explore your creativity with a natural dyeing experience to co-create a section of a giant puppet named “Water Woman”. Your contributions will create scales for Water Woman’s dress, which will symbolize our collective relationship with water, and become a vibrant tapestry of shared stories, wishes, and prayers for water.

Nature’s Contours: Drawing with Line at the Colour Me Local Dye Garden
Join Ada Dragomir, Visual Artist and Still Moon’s Eco-Arts Programs Manager, for a contemplative and attuned course in contour drawing. Contour drawing is a form of observational line-based drawing that attends to the shape and volume of a subject from real life. It’s a way to see beyond the details into the essence of a thing. It’s simple to learn and encourages a state of flow.
