The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) has announced 28 sites that are participating in its 16th annual Inside|Out public art and placemaking program. The locations, spread across Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties, as well as Mackinac Island, have been chosen to host the DIA's public outreach program.
The Inside|Out program features high-quality reproductions of artwork from the DIA's collection installed throughout several communities in Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties each summer and fall. Communities apply to participate in the DIA's program. Those selected by the DIA receive several artwork reproductions to be installed in highly trafficked public places for approximately half the year.
