Wayne County Arts Authority Report 2015

2.3 – Governance – Arts Authorities shall have the right to appoint two voting members to serve on the DIA’s Board of

Directors.

Wayne County Arts Authority appointed Amy DeBrunner and Hubert Massey to the Detroit Institute of Arts

Board of Directors.

Ms. DeBrunner is on the Community Relations and Building Committees and Mr. Massey is on the Learning and

Interpretation Committee.

2.4.1–Privileges to County Residents–Free General Admission

Admissions represent general museum admission and do not include special exhibitions, special on-site events or off-site events.

2015 free admission for Wayne County residents represents a value of $881,848.

2.4.2 – Student Services and Curriculum Development

Since passage of the tri-county millage, DIA educators have significantly increased K–12 services in Wayne

County and continue to exceed target participation numbers for students and teachers. Field trip options have

expanded in response to teachers’ requests. Professional development most often brings together K–12

educators with museum educators to design specific curriculum resources in support of teachers’ student

learning outcomes. These collaboratively developed resources create experiences for students that use objects in

the collection as resources for learning across the curriculum. Once these resources are designed, implemented,

and adjusted if necessary, they are shared on the website for use by all

teachers. http://www.dia.org/learn/learning_resources.aspx

Free Student Field Trips with Bus Transportation

A total of 34,475 students participated in no-cost field trips to the DIA in 2015, exceeding the 16,000 service

agreement.

Attendees were invited to develop public programs influenced by the exhibitions. Resulting community

partnership programs were promoted by the DIA via social media, press release, direct mail and printed

materials.

DIA Inspired: Diego and Frida

Developed to create connections between the themes of the DIA’s special exhibition, Diego Rivera and

Frida Kahlo in Detroit, the DIA partnered with The Ford Resource and Engagement Center and Henry

Ford Centennial Library on programs that provided transportation to the DIA for lunch and a visit to the

exhibition. The participants returned to their local libraries DIA studio instructors focusing on themes of

for a discussion and art-making project led by identity.

DIA Inspired: See What I Say

The DIA partnered with InsideOut Literary Arts Project to create original poetry inspired by the

exhibition 30 Americans. The multifaceted program included poetry performances and a literary

workshop led by InsideOut Literary Arts Project instructors.

The DIA provided a two-day Visual Thinking Strategies training program to the workshop instructors to

prepare them to engage students with works of art. At the workshops, which took place in the exhibition

space, instructors helped tri-county high school students to look carefully at the images in 30 Americans

and use their reactions as inspiration for original poetry.

Students recited their poems in Rivera Court during a performance that concluded the workshops. In

addition to on site performances and workshops, InsideOut Literary Arts writers-in-residence used images

from 30 Americans in classroom lessons.

30 Americans Student Discussion

Eleven high school sophomores and juniors from across the tri-county participated in a half-day,

facilitated dialogue based on select artwork from 30 Americans to spark conversations about relevant

contemporary issues. This diverse group of teenagers shared their perspectives on challenging topics such

as the fluid nature of identity and the history of race/racism in the United States. The dialogues were

filmed, with select portions incorporated into the exhibition’s app-based multimedia tour, alongside

comments from some of artists in the show and members of the DIA’s exhibition team as a means to

deepen visitors’ understanding of artworks and themes. Four videos were made from the filmed content,

designed to support educators in facilitating similar conversations around issues of identity and race in

their classrooms.

Scholastic Art Awards

The Detroit Film Theatre was the site for the award ceremony for the 2015 Southeastern Michigan Region

of the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards competition. Staff from the museum’s Learning and

Interpretation department partnered with Detroit’s College for Creative Studies (CCS) to coordinate the

Inside|Out has become the cornerstone of our engagement efforts with Wayne County communities. In

2015, 22 tri-county municipalities applied to participate in the program, exceeding last year’s total.

Twenty communities were accepted, including ten that had never participated previously. To

accommodate the communities, new images were added to the collection, and the DIA provided training

for community volunteers to help facilitate local programming.

Wayne County Inside|Out communities:

Hines Park, Osborn, Wayne State University, Grosse Ile, Detroit Community Gardens, Detroit Riverwalk

and Flat Rock.

The DIA partnered with Wayne County Parks Chief of Planning and Design Elizabeth Iszler to bring

Inside|Out to a 17-mile stretch of Hines Park from Livonia to Northville. Sites were chosen to highlight

the park’s many amenities, including fishing docks, playscapes and scenic lookouts.

The growing interest in sustainable food sources and urban gardening inspired the DIA to partner with

both Sarah Clark of Southwest Detroit Environmental Vision and Riet Schumack of Neighbors Building

Brightmoor to produce an Inside|Out exhibition in Detroit community gardens. Some of these gardens

contained small raised beds, such as those in Cadillac Urban Garden in an old parking lot for General

Motors executives; the Brightmoor Youth Garden, where young gardeners set up a profit-sharing

enterprise; and Beaverland Farm, a large farm that takes up three city blocks.

Complementary programs included a bike tour that attracted more than 80 participants. Another project,

in partnership with the College for Creative Studies, focused on how gardens and public art improve the

quality of life for residents in blighted neighborhoods.
