DIA Inside/Out
The DIA's Inside/Out project is back by popular demand. This year, the DIA will bring 80 reproductions of paintings from its collection to the streets and parks of the greater metro Detroit area. In each participating community, seven pieces will be clustered within walking or bike-riding distance in a grand, open air gallery.

Staff Picks
Lyonel Feininger
Sidewheeler II, 1913
“I love how Feininger sharpens my perception of the intensity of the storm with waves, clouds, ship smoke, and the ship itself broken into angular shards. This non-fluid geometry remarkably conveys the vessel's struggle for forward motion against the repeated lift and drop of waves and crush of water surging across its decks. ”
Scott Boberg, Head of Interpretive Programs
