For almost 20 years we’ve invited you to our home to celebrate craft, community, and music—this year we’re bringing it live to your house.

To keep our community safe and healthy, we won’t be gathering under the big top on campus this year, so we’re throwing the party online! Tune in for digital opportunities: lunch and learn craft demonstrations, tours of campus, slow TV, and a host of other great opportunities.

The week will culminate with a uniquely North House celebration on September 19th featuring Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass, as our featured speaker, live concert with two-time Grammy-nominated musician Eliza Gilkyson, as well as our annual fund-a-need auction. Tickets for the live event will go on sale August 10th.

More details coming soon — sign up for our eNewsletter to stay up-to-date!

We’re excited to welcome you back to campus! Dive in with these in-person events.

This year we will host this important gathering online as a Zoom Webinar, offering a unique opportunity to share updates with friends from near to far. Front and center in the conversation: highlights of reopening on-campus coursework and our digital outreach efforts, board level engagement of fiscal and pandemic planning, highlights of fall offerings and planning for the future.

We are sailing!

• Sails are around one hour in duration.
• Each sail is limited to a single group or household.
• There is a booking minimum of four tickets per sail (you can still sail with fewer than four, but must pay for four). Maximum of six.

We’re excited to be on the water again, and we hope you’ll join us!

North House is beginning a phased reopening of campus in July and August. Our goal is to begin welcoming students back to campus in a limited capacity while continuing to ensure the safety and health of our students, instructors, staff, and community.

For classes scheduled during this time period, unfortunately, many must still be canceled. However, classes that are able to be safely hosted on campus will continue as scheduled, with other classes moving online. Please see our COVID-19 Update page for details.

Starting in July, our school store, front office and campus will reopen to the public. School store & front office hours are Wednesday - Thursday, 12 - 4pm, and Friday - Sunday, 9am - 4pm. We welcome inquiries at any time - email us at info@northhouse.org or call 218-387-9762.
