T his June, CTAC’s plein air painting festival will be back and better than ever, with a full week of landscape painting, live demonstrations, activities for kids, art sales, classes, parties, and community events! Now in its seventh year, Paint Grand Traverse will kick off Summer 2024 with 32 featured artists from across the country. They’ll spend the week being inspired by the summer magic of Traverse City, Old Mission Peninsula, Leelanau County, and the Lake Michigan coastline. More than 200 paintings will be created, each one capturing a special place and moment in Northern Michigan. Whether you are a novice, a professional, or a wanna-be, this week is jam-packed with opportunities to engage and get a behind-the- scenes view of the life of a plein air artist. We will have artist demos Monday through Thursday, where you can learn more about their equipment, approach, and style. Pop in the galleries to cool off and get a sneak peek at each artist’s display to see some of the artwork that they brought from home. The week winds down with the newly named Fresh Paint Party, where you can join the celebration as we reveal the entire collection. Our awards juror will announce awards at 5:30 pm, so you will want to get a purchase award to have the first opportunity to get your hands on an award- winning painting. Once a painting is purchased, you are welcome to take the painting home with you. No waiting until the end of the exhibit. Something to brag about all summer!
