The Crooked Tree Arts Center (CTAC), located in the old Petoskey United Methodist Church, was built in 1890. The Center is a place where artists from around northern Michigan show off their talents and display their artworks to the public. This unique arts center has been a part of Petoskey's history for nearly 40 years and continues to be an important part of the community today.
The beautiful restored arts center holds two art galleries, a 235-seat theater; studios for dancing, pottery, painting, and music lessons; offices, and meeting rooms. The Center features artists from Charlevoix and Emmet counties and has become an important historical structure that visitors and residents in Northern Michigan can enjoy.
