DIA\u2019s Inside Out Brings Art to Locations Around Auburn Hills<\/p>\n

(Lisa Passalacqua, Auburn Hills Community Engagement Manager, May 27, 2026)<\/p>\n

Auburn Hills, MI \u2013 Have you spotted the works placed around Auburn Hills through the Detroit Institute of Arts Inside|Out<\/a> program? Get to know the pieces, then check them out using this map as your guide(opens in a new tab)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Near the Public Square in Downtown Auburn Hills, feast your eyes on \u201cFruit Piece<\/a>.\u201d The original oil on canvas was created by Robert S. Duncanson, an accomplished nineteenth-century landscape artist and the first African American artist to gain international recognition. Duncanson has ties to Michigan! After living in Ohio for a time, Duncanson moved to Monroe. The bountiful table setting in \u201cFruit Piece\u201d feels warm and inviting, a perfect fit for the Public Square, our downtown gathering space.<\/p>\n

Mounted on the Primary Parking Structure wall, look for \u201cPortrait of a Collagist<\/a>\u201d by Benny Andrews. Created in 1989, this mixed-media work reflects Andrews\u2019 powerful style as both an artist and activist, known for his expressive figurative paintings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Take a ride along the Clinton River Trail and you might feel transported when you come across \u201cBank of the Oise at Auvers<\/a>\u201d by Vincent van Gogh. The scene captures a peaceful canoe launch. This could be you at our annual Paddlepalooza<\/a> event on June 7! Although the Clinton River may be a bit more adventurous than the landscape depicted here, it\u2019s easy to imagine yourself drifting through a quiet village in northern France with the unknown subjects of this Van Gogh painting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Near the Knight Amphitheater at Riverside Park, you\u2019ll find \u201cStaunch Friends<\/a>\u201d by William Frederick Yeames. This 1859 British work, featuring a jester and a monkey, feels right at home in a space dedicated to outdoor entertainment. After all, live music in the open air is a timeless favorite.<\/p>\n

Also in Riverside Park, near the pavilion, you\u2019ll find \u201cA Day in June<\/a>\u201d by George Wesley Bellows. This painting captures a lively group of parkgoers enjoying a warm afternoon in Central Park. Here, Bellows depicts the same sense of camaraderie that we experience in our community parks on a sunny day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss an untitled work at the Auburn Hills Public Library by Roberto Montenegro, a Mexican muralist working in the early twentieth century, a contemporary of Diego Rivera\u2019s. And at the Auburn Hills Community Center, you\u2019ll find \u201cDragon Amid Clouds<\/a>\u201d by a Korean artist.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve truly enjoyed learning more about each of these pieces and thinking about how they fit within our community. I hope you have the chance to explore them too!<\/p>\n
