Creative Cleanups

No One's Ark: A place to create, celebrate, & connect with the creek and its community

Pirate Parley

Where art meets activism

As a floating cultural and environmental education center, No One's Ark is using the creative arts to merge the tides of imagination with the waves of restoration. We believe cleaning up isn’t just about removing what doesn’t belong...it’s about re-envisioning what could be. By weaving together art, storytelling, and ecological restoration, we're on a quest to transform the shorelines and waterways into living canvases.

​Our vision is to restore the ship into a sacred gathering place for artists, activists, educators, scientists, inventors, neighbors, and children...(plants & animals too)...to come together and co-create. Much like sailors charting a course, our parley sparks dialogue, collaboration, and bold acts of creativity that re-wild and re-imagine our community. ​

Our Impact

Through unique and intentional programming, we empower the community to see themselves not as bystanders, but as crew members on a voyage toward healing our waters. We hope to inspire further engagement with the local ecology, catalyzing creative ideas into impactful solutions.

Join the crew

Step aboard and become part of the story. Whether you bring a paintbrush, a voice, or just two hands ready to help, there’s a place for you in the Cleanup. Together, we can turn restoration into a shared act of art, imagination, and hope.
