History

  • The four 18"x24" Coloring Posters were created in 2015 and 2016 by artist Susan Alexander

  • Susan spent hours in the natural areas and the businesses and landmarks of the Traverse City and the Leelanau County areas to capture the beautiful details.

  • There are four designs- two unique ones for Traverse City and two unique ones for Leelanau County

  • Each poster has side panels of each season in the area showing the animals, insects and flowers of the area as well. 

  • The posters also feature drawings of places such as Burritt's, GT Pie, J&S Hamburg, M22, The State Theater, the Martinek Clock, Flower Station, Art's Tavern etc. 

  • Posters have been colored in the past with groups of kids working together or families.
