We invite you to walk through a woven-wooden archway to a quaint and classy space where you can dance, mingle, nibble, and enjoy a drink with your friends and the Still Moon community. Your ears will be filled with the sweet sound of jazz while you enjoy a warm and rustic, eco-arts themed event. As the sun sets over the mountains, our lantern-illuminated environment will come alive as we settle in to watch two short art films created by Still Moon Arts Society. We warmly welcome you to a community-inspired evening in support of our mission to raise environmental awareness through the arts. With the world opening and many updates to share, we are eager to see you.
Your contribution goes towards Still Moon’s General Fund which supports Still Creek salmon restoration, ecological art projects and increasing programming for underserved communities and youth.
Still Moon has contributed to salmon returning to Still Creek after 80 years of absence; youth leadership and programming opportunities such as the Youth Committee; and eco-arts programs for the general community and people with varying abilities. Still Moon is committed to accessible programming regardless of economic barriers. Its annual Renfrew Ravine Moon Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2022.
