Scope and content
The Friendship House was located close to Central Toronto Academy, which was then called Central Commerce Collegiate Institute. The Greater Toronto Chapter of the NAJC often had negative encounters with students from the high school. In hopes to build a better relationship with these students, they organized the New Moon project, which had students from the high school work with members of the Japanese Canadian artist community to paint a mural.
The sub-series is composed primarily of photographs and slides documenting the painting process and the final mural. Some textual material from planning the collaboration is included.
