Paint Grand Traverse is an annual plein air (outdoor) painting festival and competition, presented by Crooked Tree Arts Center and located in Traverse City, Michigan. Each August, 35-40 talented artists from across the country come to Traverse City to be inspired by the region's beautiful landscapes, Lake Michigan shorelines, and charming villages. The festival includes classes, live demos, kids activities, art sales, exhibitions, and more!

CTAC-Traverse City's Megan Kelto will visit Petoskey for an introduction to this national event. Learn about past festivals, as well as 2022's artist lineup and schedule of events.
