Board of Directors
/Organization:
Still Moon Arts Society
Deadline:
Apr. 22, 2025
Organization Description:
Still Moon Arts Society inspires vibrant and connected communities by creating artistic experiences and nurturing a passion for nature. We do so through our eco-arts and environmental stewardship programming in addition to our founding annual festival, the Renfrew Ravine Moon Festival.
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 its inception in 2004, we have used art to raise awareness and bring about positive change by mobilizing the local community and government partners to restore the Renfrew Ravine from a neglected dumping ground to a place of wonder, natural beauty, and educational opportunities.
