Mission:
The mission of the Crooked Tree Arts Center is to create, stimulate and perpetuate the arts in northern Michigan.

History:
Crooked Tree Arts Center was founded in 1971 to sponsor and encourage activities in the arts for residents of Charlevoix and Emmet counties. It took less than ten years for the group to grow in stature to the point where it could purchase a building to serve as a center for arts endeavors in the region.
