Crooked Tree Art Center supports area artists in all facets of art.

This awards banquet, not only awarded visual arts like drawing, photography, painting, sculpture, handwork, and more, but also the ballet school at Crooked Tree.

Ballet is a strong Crooked Tree Arts program and has been for many years. Every year the students are accepted to Summer programs throughout the United States. Past graduates have gone on to study and pursue careers in ballet all over the World.

Paul Retherford Photography is honored to be asked to photograph the Crooked Tree Art Awards year after year. In addition, it is nice to see artists, like myself receiving awards of merit.

Keep up the wonderful work Crooked Tree Art Center.
