Detroit Institute of Arts launches Fifth Year of popular Inside|Out Program
January 17, 2014: The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) is taking art to the streets around Metro Detroit for the fifth year in a row. The DIA announced on Friday the participating cities in this year’s popular Inside|Out program, which brings high-quality reproductions of masterpieces from the DIA’s collection to outdoor venues throughout the area.
Over the past four years, the DIA has installed more than 700 reproductions in 98 communities. This year eight cities are participating for the first time. More than 80 reproductions will be in nine cities, some with multiple venues, from April to July, and then placed in nine other venues from August to October. Each community will have from five to 12 images clustered within walking or bike-riding distance. Exact placements are still being determined and, once finalized, will be featured on an interactive map on the DIA’s website, www.dia.org.
“We’re excited to embark on the fifth year of Inside|Out,” said Graham W. J. Beal, DIA director. “It’s been amazing to see how Inside|Out has grown over the past four years, fostering both creativity and pride among residents within their communities.”
