Some of the greatest artists of all time have come to visit Westland.
The Detroit Institute of Arts has completed the installation of reproductions of museum masterpieces throughout the city as part of the Inside Out program.
The program, now in the 12th year, has brought six weather-resistant reproductions of masterpieces from DIA collection to the Westland community.
“The City of Westland is proud to accept these six pieces and have chosen community buildings, Westland City Hall and some Westland parks as incredible display locations for this celebration of art,” commented Mayor William R. Wild. “We are thrilled to see this program return to our community.”
The City of Westland is one of 27 communities spread across Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties each with timeless pieces from the DIA Inside Out Program. For more information on DIA in Westland visit www.cityofwestland.com
