Volunteer at Paint Grand Traverse

Paint Grand Traverse is a week-long plein air (outdoor) painting festival and competition. The seventh annual Paint Grand Traverse will be held June 14-21, 2025

During PGT, artists from across the country will paint at over a dozen beautiful locations throughout the Grand Traverse region. The week also features parties, activities for kids, live painting demonstrations, and more! Paint Grand Traverse is presented by Crooked Tree Arts Center - Traverse City.
