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 summer, talented artists from across the country come to Traverse City to be inspired by the region's beautiful landscapes, Lake Michigan shorelines, and charming towns and villages. The festival includes classes, live demos, kids activities, art sales, exhibitions, and more!

Throughout the week, viewers will be able to see artists painting at different locations and we will offer free demos at Crooked Tree Arts Center. To attend the Fresh Paint Party at the end of the week celebrating all the artist's hard work, tickets start at $75 per person. At the party, there will food and wine pairings, a first glimpse at all the paintings, live music, and more. For more info, please visit the Paint Grand Traverse website.
