Progressing...

Our projects are priced to cover their own materials, marketing, and time, that's what keeps them affordable and community-first. This goal is different. It's what keeps Organized Squirrels itself running and growing: the website, the tools, the hours it takes to plan, coordinate, and show up for every project on this list.

Once you believe something is 'realistic,' you make it so. I believe in a world of fraternity and love. A world where joy, abundance, and security are the norm for everyone, and where we all stand up for one another. Here I stand, a 'delusional' dreamer, telling you it is possible and asking you to stand alongside me.

Our long-term goal is to establish a permanent creative campus, repurposing a historic building into a community hub with gardens, a free resource library, artisan stalls, a stage, and space for year-round events. Every project we run today is a step toward proving this model, building the community, and earning the trust to make that home a reality.

What We Do

We run a rotating slate of community-first creative projects, including:

  • Neighbourhood beautification initiatives — reimagining shared public spaces (murals, painted fixtures, Free Little Libraries) in partnership with local residents and businesses.

  • A monthly zine spotlighting one local artist, paired with practical resources for creatives (grants, tools, opportunities).

  • A performer safety initiative, improving conditions for musicians and performers travelling to and from venues at night.

Organized Squirrels is a Canadian creative organization built to make creativity accessible, sustainable, and celebrated in the Greater Moncton Area and across the world through online resources. We believe creativity is infrastructure, as essential to a healthy community as roads or parks and we exist to build the soil, the shelter, and the stage where it grows. Because every person is born an artist, and we intend to prove it.
