2/25/13 - The City of Brighton is one of the latest communities selected to be featured this summer as part of the Detroit Institute of Arts Inside/Out exhibit. The project places reproductions of classic pieces of art outside that are within walking or biking distance in various communities. Howell hosted the exhibit in 2011 (pictured). The City was originally selected to be a part of the exhibit last year, but financing issues required the DIA to hold off. Brighton Arts and Culture Commission Chairwoman Claudia Roblee tells WHMI they were later notified that additional funding had been received and were contacted by officials to see if they were still interested in being a participating community this summer. Exact placements are still being determined for the Inside/Out exhibit and once they are finalized, they will be featured on an interactive map on the DIAâs website, www.dia.org. It encourages each city to plan activities centered around the works of art so Roblee says they will be talking with the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce and the Brighton Art Guild to incorporate the Inside/Out exhibit with the city's current sculptures downtown as well as the summer arts festival.
