Land-based Projects Summit: An Invitation to Farmers, Land Stewards, Creatives and Artists

Crosshatch Center for Art and Ecology invites you to 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:

  1. Community Farms & Gardens

  2. Nature Centers & Educational Programs

  3. Artist Residencies & Public Art

  4. Agritourism (like farm tours, cider-making, or on-farm dinners)

Why Attend?

  1. Discover New Ideas: Learn how to “activate” the community on your land in creative ways.

  2. Meet Others: Connect with other farmers, creative do-ers, and community builders.

  3. Increase Income: Use creative activities on the land to diversify revenue streams adjacent to agricultural uses.

  4. Think outside the box: Participate in exercises and discussions that stretch your thinking and connect you to different perspectives.

  5. Get Actionable Ideas: Leave with practical steps to try on your land.

Topics We’ll Explore:

  1. What stories does your land hold? How can those stories guide the future of your farm or community space?

  2. What opportunities does your land offer for community-centered projects?

  3. What dreams or ideas do you have for your land as a place of creativity and connection?

  4.
