Partners in Public Art Murals
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.
Applications for Community Partners (Macomb, Oakland, Wayne) & Artist Interest Forms are now open for 2026 & beyond.
