You've Got Photos: Wyandotte's Free Day at the DIA

More than 100 Wyandotte residents visited the Detroit Institute of Arts on Sunday during sponsored by the DIA's Inside|Out project.

Residents also could bring friends to partake in some of the planned activities, including workshops, drawing, tours and family-friendly performances.

The Wyandotte Jazz Ensemble and Wyandotte African Drum and Dance Ensemble, which consist of students, performed outside the DIA from noon to 1 p.m.

Natalie Rankine, director of Wyandotte's Downtown Development Authority, said the high school music added a great atmosphere to the artsy environment.

"The RHS performance was fantastic," she said. "It was a beautiful day and it was a wonderful to add a musical element to the experience. We are so lucky to have such talented musicians in our city."  

Wyandotte is one of 16 Michigan communities selected to host

As part of the project, the DIA has brought seven high-quality reproductions of art pieces from its collection to the streets of Wyandotte. Some of the pieces hang on the sides of buildings, while others are freestanding throughout the downtown area. The pieces are clustered within walking or biking distance from each other to encourage people to get out and view them all.

Inside|Out runs through June. A number of events, including live music and hands-on art, will take place in conjunction with the exhibit.

Here's a list of the art pieces:

• , 2610 Biddle Ave.
• , 2840 Biddle Ave. 
• , 2803 First St.
• .
• , 2912 Biddle Ave.
• , 3200 Biddle Ave.
• , 3000 Biddle Ave.

Those who have checked out the reproductions around Wyandotte were able to see the real deal at the DIA on Sunday.

"I love that Wyandotte residents have taken ownership of these pieces," Rankine said. "Each resident received a custom map of where the seven Wyandotte pieces were located at the DIA and we overhead them saying things like, 'Our Drummer Boy is right around the corner.' You can tell that our residents were really excited to be a part of this program."
