From May through October 2026, you can find these reproductions in more than 30 communities in Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties. And once again, Inside|Out will return to Mackinac Island.
New this year: Charles Frederic Ulrich’s The Wood Engraver and Charles Caryl Coleman’s The Garden of the Villa Castello, Capri.

Community partners often schedule programming around the Inside|Out installations, as a way to build excitement and create free, memorable experiences for residents. Lyon Township, for example, is hosting a scavenger hunt in partnership with local organizations, with prizes for participants. “Here in Lyon Township, we are thrilled to be part of the Detroit Institute of Arts' Inside|Out program,” says Angie Hunt, DDA Marketing & Social Media Manager. “From the beginning, we knew we wanted to turn this opportunity into an interactive community experience.”

When you spot a favorite DIA artwork out in the wild this summer, be sure to snap a photo and tag #DIAInsideOut to join the conversation.
Art lovers can further explore Inside|Out with updated interactive webpages. Featuring detailed maps for every participating community, this digital tool makes it easy to find nearby installations, explore maps, and trace artworks back to the DIA.
“We hope that seeing art in this way inspires people to visit the museum to experience the original works—and the full breadth of the collection—in person,” says Julie McFarland, Executive Director of Public Affairs and Engagement at the DIA.
And when you’re ready to see the originals, general admission to the museum is always free for residents of Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties.
