Crooked Tree Arts Center was founded in 1971 in Petoskey, Michigan, under the name Crooked Tree Arts Council. Its goal is to encourage and support artistic activities for residents of Charlevoix and Emmet counties. The Center has four galleries, a dance studio, a theater, classrooms for classes in arts, dance and music, a culinary arts kitchen and more. The art galleries are free and open to the public. The name Crooked Tree comes from the local landmark important to the indigenous peoples of Northern Michigan. The hope of the founding members of the Center was that the center would also become a gathering place for those within the community interested in the arts and would also become a local landmark, this time for the arts in Northern Michigan.
