Fairs and festivals
The DIA takes its show on the road-literally-to fairs and festivals all over Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties. One way the museum provides a mobile experience is through DIA Away-an interactive classroom and exploration space housed in a 53-foot double-expandable trailer. Inside, visitors discover some of the ways artists think and then try out creative thinking skills at digital and hands-on stations. In addition to DIA Away, the museum sends studio staff artists to local events to provide art-making workshops for fair and festivalgoers of all ages.
Last year the DIA traveled to more than 50 fairs and festivals in the tri-county area, with more than 10 in Macomb County alone. August's warm weather makes this month a perfect time to be out and about. Come see us at these upcoming events in your county:
