Still Moon Arts Society (headed up by Carmen Rosen of the Renfrew Ravine Moon Festival) is organizing a big environmental art/bike/food/fish event to raise awareness about local watershed issues. Please see the note below for workshop and event info.
Spirit Fish is March 21st!
We will have a fishy bike parade along the Central Valley Greenway bike path to the event site and at the site we will have a performance art and music tea party, make our prayers for the water andcelebrate the first day of Spring and World Water Day.
THE SPIRIT FISH CELEBRATION is taking place under the Kensington freeway access overpass in Burnaby - under it there flows Still Creek, home to herons, ducks, native plants, a bike path, evidence of temporary cardboard shelters, and huge columns that are reminiscent of old growth tree trunks or cathedral columns... but these columns are lifted in worship to the automobile overhead. Quietly beneath it and ignored we find the things we say as a culture that we treasure. So join us at this lovely spot to reconsider what we value, have a tea party, dress up, make art, listen to music, and be part of the wet, fishy celebration
