Crosshatch Center for Art and Ecology invites you to join us for a day of learning, collaboration, connections, and creative thinking to explore how agriculture and creative experiences on the land can work together!
What are land-based projects? These projects connect directly with the land, blending agriculture, creativity, and sustainability. Examples include:
- Community Farms & Gardens
- Nature Centers & Educational Programs
- Artist Residencies & Public Art
- Agritourism (like farm tours, cider-making, or on-farm dinners)
Why Attend?
- Discover New Ideas: Learn how to “activate” the community on your land in creative ways.
- Meet Others: Connect with other farmers, creative do-ers, and community builders.
- Increase Income: Use creative activities on the land to diversify revenue streams adjacent to agricultural uses.
- Think outside the box: Participate in exercises and discussions that stretch your thinking and connect you to different perspectives.
- Get Actionable Ideas: Leave with practical steps to try on your land.
Topics We’ll Explore:
- What stories does your land hold? How can those stories guide the future of your farm or community space?
- What opportunities does your land offer for community-centered projects?
- What dreams or ideas do you have for your land as a place of creativity and connection?
Register now to reserve your spot for this exciting opportunity to connect, collaborate, and expand your land’s potential!
