Dear Friends of Crooked Tree Arts Center,
As I reflect on my time at Crooked Tree Arts Center, I am filled with gratitude for the incredible journey we have been on together. While I was not here when ArtCenter Traverse City first merged with Crooked Tree, I have had the privilege of being part of this community for over eight years—witnessing its remarkable growth, deepening connections, and expanding opportunities. Every day, I am reminded of how much the arts mean to our community. Whether it’s providing a space for artists to showcase their work—from the art fair and holiday art market to exhibitions and teaching opportunities—or creating moments of joy and discovery through classes, workshops, and family programs, our mission is clear: to connect, inspire, and engage. One of the greatest joys of this work is seeing those connections in action. Watching artists find their creative peers, students discovering their voice, families exploring together, and that undeniable spark when someone is truly moved by an experience —these moments are what make our work so meaningful. As an artist myself, I know firsthand the transformative power of the arts. And to play even a small role in fostering these experiences is an honor beyond words. I wholeheartedly believe that we are just getting started. The future of Crooked Tree Arts Center—Traverse City is bright, and I can’t wait to see what we accomplish together. Thank you for being a part of this journey.
