In a previous post, I bragged on Lincoln Park and its participation in the Downriver Cruise. There were bands up and down Fort Street. The Downtown Development Authority, with Madhu Oberoi as Executive Director, hosted a great party.Now, they have stepped up again to be part of the InsideOut program sponsored by the DIA.
According to the DIA website:
Inside|Out, now in its fourth year, brings nearly 80 reproductions of masterpieces from the DIA's collection to the streets and parks of metro Detroit, pleasantly surprising and delighting residents of the participating communities. Where possible, the works are clustered within walking or biking distance of each other in a grand, open-air gallery.
The DIA is working with the communities to plan educational opportunities and other fun activities, such as bicycle and walking tours. Residents of participating communities will enjoy a designated weekend to visit the museum for free and see "their" works of art. Visitors will receive a 10 percent discount in Café DIA and the museum shop, $1 off Detroit Film Theatre (DFT) tickets and free admission to showings of the DFT 101 film series.
The six paintings in Lincoln Park are all within walking distance near Southfield and Fort St. View them when visiting The Moose Lodge, Fort Street Brewery, Park Restaurant, Library or City Hall. If you visit one of these displays, please comment. We'd like to have your feedback.
Thanks Lincoln Park DDA and the DIA!
Peace,
Annette DeMaggio
