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. By creating and sharing beauty, by forming collaborative relationships in the community, and by engaging our audience in thoughtful discussion about many of the difficulties we face as a collective, we bring light through art . 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 often come along with finding 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, and welcome makers from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences to share their work in our space.
