Brad Kik is the co-founder and co-director of Crosshatch
Center for Art & Ecology, a non-profit organization that connects the lines
between art, agriculture, local economy and ecology. Brad’s varied background
in film study, environmental activism, graphic design, community organizing,
traditional music, writing, ecology and permaculture plays a key role in
shaping the cross-disciplinary work of Crosshatch. Brad regularly presents on
the intersections of art and ecology, particularly in regards to artist
residencies and the role of the arts in rural development. Brad serves as a
trustee of Earthwork Music Collective and the Alliance of Artists Communities,
and is currently working on a book about the work of Crosshatch.
