The Crooked Tree Arts Center’s Art Tree Sales Gallery, which is located inside, sells different art pieces from members as well as from artists from around Northern Michigan. The gallery is open year ’round and is the showcase for outstanding artwork.

More than one dozen visual art exhibitions are mounted each year within the two galleries. An active docent programs helps interpret these works for school children who visit and then participate in related hands-on activities. Plays, films, concerts, and recitals fill the auditorium with performing artists and their eager audiences who have supported an ever-growing calendar.

Each session of the Community School of the Arts offers more than 350 hours of instruction in music, art, and dance. The Crooked Tree Youth Orchestra and the Beginning Strings Program are among the programs to have sprouted from the branches of the Crooked Tree. CTAC also takes its show on the road with in-school performances throughout Charlevoix and Emmet Counties by a variety of performing artists.

The Crooked Tree Arts Center has events all year that include painting in the kitchen of the center, exhibits, gallery walks, lectures, performances, and much more. Visit this historic spot and look in on the art that is on exhibit as well as shop in the Art Tree Sales Gallery. During the summer months, Concerts in the Park brings music and entertainment to downtown Petoskey. And each December, the center holds a New Year’s Eve Celebration with fun for the whole family.
