Join A Movement Linking Creativity, Ecology and Community
Crosshatch Center for Art & Ecology continues engaging communities in Northern Michigan through programs that intertwine creative expression, land stewardship and resilient local economies. Founded in 2005, the nonprofit brings together artists, farmers and educators with a shared belief that culture and ecology are essential to community well-being.
Crosshatch offers opportunities for individuals to participate in workshops, residencies and collaborative projects rooted in the rhythms of rural life. Participants engage in traditional skills, sustainable practices and storytelling that ground them in the local landscape. With a focus on restoration and place-based work, these experiences reinforce the center’s commitment to cultivating vibrant and regenerative communities.
Inspired by its founders’ vision to merge art and ecology, Crosshatch envisions a culture where economy and creativity flourish together. Its programs support the shared work of growing food, making music, restoring soil and building meaningful local relationships. Through this blend of craft and care, Crosshatch continues to build a foundation for cultural and ecological resilience across the region.
