Join us on Crooked Tree Art Center’s Bidwell Plaza for an evening of original art, live music, and a cash bar during Petoskey’s annual Sidewalk Sales weekend festivities. Plein Air on the Plaza: Wet Paint Sale features original artwork created by regional plein-air artists during the last week of July. Visitors can meet the artists, enjoy live music, and purchase paintings inspired by the landscapes, waterfronts, and charm of the Little Traverse Bay region.
