Partners in Public Art

The Detroit Institute of Arts’ Partners in Public Art mural program is a collaboration with cities, townships and villages throughout the tri-county area to create community-driven, highly visible murals.

Since 2018, this program has brought residents together to explore their sense of community through a collaborative design and creation process, resulting in murals that reflect their unique stories and interests.
