20th Annual Renfrew Ravine Moon Festival – Call for Artists
Still Moon is seeking artists for the 20th Annual Renfrew Ravine Moon Festival this September! Since its inception, the festival has become a significant anchor of community creativity and collective neighbourhood identity. It has raised awareness of the history of the Still Creek watershed, resulting in ongoing community stewardship (and the return of salmon!). The festival is rooted in Asian Mid-Autumn Festivals traditions; this year, we celebrate the harvest moon, Autumnal Equinox, and Renfrew-Collingwood’s diverse community and natural environment through interdisciplinary arts over two weekends with the theme of “resurfacing”. We are recruiting musicians, dancers, and performers of all kinds for the Harvest Fair (September 10th) and artists for the Streamside Lantern Installation (September 17th).
Application Deadline: May 31, 2022
