our purpose and practices
Rising Moon Gallery was born of a desire to create a space where art and craft could serve to elevate human consciousness. we bring light through art by creating and sharing beauty, by forming collaborative relationships in the community, and by engaging our audience in thoughtful discussion and action about the many difficulties we face as a collective.
Art and craft have long been the voice to call for improving our communities, nations, and the world and our gallery strives to honour this tradition of leadership and service. When founder and resident artist Andrea Hildebrand observed the role of art and craft in her community, she felt there was a need to establish a retail and exhibition space that was intently focused on this purpose. Art as service, creativity as access to our highest potential, and building relationships and inclusive spaces; this is why we exist.
Rising Moon Gallery fulfills this purpose through three central actions: environmental stewardship and care for the land and all creatures, shining a light on the remarkable creative gifts of women makers, and creating opportunities for artists to speak through their craft while reducing the economic barriers that may prevent artists from obtaining gallery representation.
We welcome you into our space with gratitude, whoever you are. If you are an artist, a shopper, a client, or just curious, we aim to offer a space that is alive and beautiful for all members of our community. We are committed to maintaining the highest standard of quality for the work we represent. We welcome makers from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences to share their work in our space. Rising Moon Gallery offers artists the most competitive rate of commission with a sliding scale option to ensure that no artist is denied the opportunity to share their creativity. Artists and curators are always paid in full for their work and never discounted. Any promotions are fully subsidized by the gallery or donors to ensure that the value of the artist and their work is always upheld.
RMG currently features the work of 12 artists providing inspired artworks in a variety of mediums including textiles and fiber art, pottery and ceramic sculpture, art prints, jewellery, hand-bound books, bags and garments, baskets, woodwork, handmade cards, and canvases. each of our artists is working in relationship with the land either through their materials and processes, their subject matter and inspiration, or their cultural tradition. Each artist has a fascinating story to tell about our place here on earth and our relationship with nature.
RMG offers a rare shopping experience where you can learn about the artists, and their process and intentions. You will be able to find truly one-of-a-kind items whose sale supports local makers, women-led small businesses, and environmental and social initiatives.
We offer gift packaging and can arrange online sales and shipping or local delivery via this website. see the tab at the top of the homepage called "purchasing"
