DIA Picks Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti for Inside|Out Program

The Detroit Institute of Arts has selected Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti among the 25 southeast Michigan communities that will host Inside|Out outdoor art installations this spring and summer.

"Now in its fourth year, Inside|Out brings reproductions of masterpieces from the DIA’s collection to the streets of metro Detroit," a DIA press release said. "Inside|Out aims to connect with audiences outside the museum walls in places where they live, work and play."

Ann Arbor will host the following Inside|Out spring installations from April to June (see below for a complete list of participating communities).

• "Head of a Woman," Egyptian
• "Madame Paul Poirson," John Singer Sargent
• "Indian Summer," Joseph Francis Cropsey
• "Syria by the Sea," Frederic Edwin Church
• "The Window," Henri Matisse
• "The Fruit Vendor," Il Pensionate del Saraceni
• "Judith and Her Maidservant," Artemsia Genileschi

Ypsilanti will host yet-to-be-determined artworks from July to August.

The Inside|Out program is funded through a partnership with the Miami-based John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, one of whose goals is to foster the arts.

New this year, residents of participating Inside|Out communities are invited to visit the museum for free on a so-called "community weekend," during which they will receive free admission, as well as a 10 percent discount in the Cafe DIA and museum shop, $1 off Detroit Film Theatre tickets and free admission to showings of the DFT 101 film series.

Ann Arbor's community weekend dates will be April 20-21; Ypsilanti's dates have yet to be determined.
