Land Based Projects Summit, Part II: An Invitation to Farmers, Land Stewards, Creatives and Artists

  • Grow Benzie 5885 Frankfort Highway Benzonia, MI, 49616 United States (map)

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)

This event will feature inspiring speakers, hands-on workshops, and guided conversations designed to help you develop your land-based project, connect with others, and gain new ideas and perspectives. You’ll also have the chance to explore Grow Benzie—a dynamic land-based project in its own right—which serves as both our host venue and a living example of creative, community-centered land use.

Registration is coming soon. Please check back for more information as the event approaches.
