Volunteer at Paint Grand Traverse

Paint Grand Traverse is a week-long plein air (outdoor) painting festival and competition. The fifth annual Paint Grand Traverse will be held August 14-20, 2022.

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.

We need a great team of volunteers to make Paint Grand Traverse a huge success! Online volunteer shift signup for PGT 2022 is now open! Or, call (231) 941-9488 to register by phone.

SALES CONCIERGES
Our Sales Concierges help make the artwork buying process run smoothly, by writing down buyer's billing information directing them to check-out tables. Sales Concierges also have the incredibly satisfying job of applying big, red, SOLD dots to the walls.
