Crossing suggests a place of encounters: with nature, with the inner self, with others. Mythically, the deer represents gentleness in the face of overwhelming fear and anxiety. The art farm is conceived as a meeting place for artists, farmers and everyone in between searching - through the gentle power of the arts - for a new healthier relationship with the planet.

With the British Columbia rain forest behind us and the Pacific Ocean and coastal mountains below, deer crossing the art farm is a not-for-profit society located on the Sunshine Coast, an hour and a half from Vancouver.
