7/24/14 - Workers are scheduled to start the installation process as part of a project that will take art to the streets in the City of Wixom. This marks the fifth year of the Detroit Institute of Arts popular Inside/Out exhibit. High-quality reproductions of masterpieces from the museum's collection will be clustered within walking or bike-riding distance at outdoor venues in eight communities this summer, including the City of Wixom where installation begins today and should be completed by the end of the month. Seven works of art are going up in Sibley Park, Mack Park, Gibson Park, Wixom City Hall and in the Wixom & Old Wixom Road Pocket Park. The formal kickoff and DIA presentation of the art pieces is planned August 7th, prior to the Thursday night concert series and in conjunction with Wixom Art Squared. The parks & recreation department is inviting local artists to display their work at the local art show that day from 3â8pm. The DIA will be providing a judge for the various categories. Public viewing for Inside/Out exhibit will take place from August through October and an interactive map of the art and locations will be available on the DIA's website. A link is below. (JM)
