Crooked Tree Arts Center Launches New Website to Better Serve Northern Michigan Community

PETOSKEY and TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Crooked Tree Arts Center (CTAC) is thrilled to announce the launch of its brand-new website on November 18, 2025. Completely rebuilt from the ground up, the new site makes it easier than ever for visitors to explore exhibitions, register for classes, discover upcoming events, and connect with the arts across Northern Michigan.

To bring this vision to life, CTAC partnered with Flight Path Creative, a Traverse City–based marketing and design agency, to develop a vibrant, modern website with exceptional functionality and accessibility, paired with a fresh design that celebrates CTAC’s creative spirit and mission—to create ways for people to connect, learn, and grow through the arts.

“This redesign is about removing barriers—making it easier for visitors to find what they need, register for a class, or discover a new opportunity to connect through the arts across our Petoskey and Traverse City campuses, as well as for our School of Ballet,” said Angela Morris, CTAC President. 

Key improvements include:

  • A fresh, contemporary design reflecting CTAC’s identity and mission
  • Streamlined navigation for faster, easier access to information
  • A fully mobile-friendly interface for a seamless experience on any device
  • Enhanced event and class listings with simplified registration

The new website will go live on November 18 at www.crookedtree.org.

Visitors are encouraged to explore the new site and share feedback. For questions or assistance, please contact:

  • CTAC – Petoskey: (231) 347-4337
  • CTAC – Traverse City: (231) 941-9488

“We can’t wait for our community to experience the new site,” Morris added. “It’s been a true labor of love—a collaboration that brings our mission to life by making the arts more accessible, engaging, and inspiring for everyone.”
