As we reflect on another remarkable year at Crooked Tree Arts Center, we are filled with pride and deep gratitude. Thanks to you - our dedicated members, generous donors, and committed partners - we continue to build a thriving, inclusive, and inspiring arts community across Northern Michigan. A NOTE OF GRATITUDE In 2024, your support made it possible for us to present an incredible range of experiences: from dynamic visual art exhibitions and captivating performances to enriching lectures, hands-on classes, and educational tours that sparked creativity in young minds. Over $54,000 in scholarships were distributed to help remove barriers to participation for visual arts and dance instruction, and our School of Ballet students continued to grow in skill and confidence with scholarships to Summer Intensives thanks to your belief in their potential. This coming year marks a major milestone: Crooked Tree Arts Center – Traverse City will celebrate its 10th anniversary. It’s a moment to celebrate not just our growth, but the powerful impact of the arts in our region—made possible by your unwavering support. Because of you, Crooked Tree Arts Center remains a welcoming space where people of all ages can connect, learn, and grow through the arts. Together, we’re ensuring that the arts remain a vibrant and vital part of life in Petoskey, Traverse City, and beyond. As you read this year’s annual report, know that each achievement is a direct result of your support. Thank you for being such an essential part of our story —and our future.
