The Detroit Institute of Arts’ Partners in Public Art (PIPA) program is a collaboration with municipalities and organizations throughout southeast Michigan to co-create community-driven, highly visible public works of art.
This program helps people explore their sense of community through a collaborative design and creation process, producing works of public art that express the unique stories and interests of each community.
See selected projects from Oakland, Macomb and Wayne counties below.
