A Breath of Plein Air
June 8, 2024
Paint Grand Traverse, the annual plein air painting festival put on by Crooked Tree Arts Center (CTAC), returns this weekend to northern Michigan. Saturday, June 15, and Sunday, June 16, you’ll see artists painting in downtown Traverse City on Front Street and along West Bay, as well as in Fishtown and Leland. But that’s just the start—all next week artists will visit various Up North locations while CTAC hosts free artist demos, a Fresh Paint Party to view and purchase the newly-made art (Friday, June 21, $75), and even a free plein air painting experience for kiddos. Get all the details at paintgrandtraverse.com, and keep an eye out for artists making magic around town!
