Crosshatch builds strong communities through the intersections of art, farming, ecology and economy.

formerly Institute for Sustainable Living, Art & Natural Design (ISLAND)

 

Crosshatch Center for Art & Ecology envisions communities that are grounded in place: where people connect through stories, music, art, shared work, and food, and where the economy and culture are rooted in restoration of the earth and its people.
