Just did facial reconstruction surgery on the vandalized mushroom sculpture. “Ted” has stitches and new oyster mushroom spawn in his face but now he has a broken arm. Why do people do things like this? #fruitingbodies #mushroomsculpture #renfrewravine #stillcreek #stillmoonarts #alderecoartshub via Instagram http://bit.ly/2K8Dxzs

Fruiting Bodies final sculpture was installed last Friday and we’re celebrating tonight! Join us at the Renfrew VPL 5.30-8pm for an eco-art walk+talk followed by mushroom soup.

We finished planting the dye garden on Saturday! It was the perfect day to work in the garden. We’re excited to watch the plants grow throughout the season, providing food for pollinators and colour for artists! Thanks to our friends for the help!
Our first maintenance session will be Wednesday May 8th from 6-8pm. We’ll be putting in a few more annuals!

We planted half the dye garden this weekend! It’s so exciting to grow our own natural colours! We have natural dye workshops planned through the end of the year.

The plan was to finish the whole garden in one day, but the rain meant we were a bare bones crew, so we’re planning to finish next Saturday the 20th. The weather is supposed to be much nicer, so come help us!

Many thanks to @enviroyouthalliance for a bunch of plant donations, @vanparkboard for the soil and infrastructure support, and @stillmoonarts for securing funding with the BC Arts Council. via Instagram http://bit.ly/2GhcApU
