The Detroit Institute of Arts is
coming toRomulus.
The city is one of eight commu-
nities in the greater Detroit region-
and the only in western Wayne
County-that will host reproductions
of famous artwork through the
Inside/Out program. The program,
five years old now, brings framed
reproductions of master works to
communities in Wayne, Washtenaw
and Macomb counties, where they
are displayed inpublic places.
“We are glad we've been able to
choose Romulus as one of the cities
for the Inside/Out project,” said
Gabby Bryant, community relations
specialist for theDetroit Institute of
Arts. “It's our first time in Romulus
and we're going to be bringing 10
reproductions to the community.”
The artwork will be installed
next week and will be in the city
until the middle of July, according
to Patty Braden, director of the
Romulus Public Library. The city
has several events planned around
the art works, beginning with a
kick-off event at 1 p.m. on April 26
at the Romulus Athletic Club
(RAC), which will house one of the
works.
“This program is a wonderful
opportunity to bring art and culture
to the city, as well as a way to sup-
port the DIA,” she said. “The
Inside|Out program will enhance
our community events by sparking
an interest in the arts for both
adults and youth and drawing
locals and visitors to the events.”
The 10 works and their locations
are:
• Dancers in a Green Room by
Edgar Degas will be in Mary Ann
Banks Park on Goddard Road east
of FivePoints.
• Konigsee by Willhem Wex will
be at the Romulus Police Station,

Braden said the city plans to
hold a family bike tour of the exhib-
it from6-8 p.m. onMay 30, aswell as
an 'Art in the Park' at Mary Ann
Banks Park on June 24.
Bryant said the response from
the host communities has been an
interesting part of the program, and
she expects no different from
Romulus.
“I'm really excited to see what
Romulus does with this,” she said.
“We've seen great things from com-
munities all over the tri-county
area. It's been a lot of fun for me to
see what the communities do and
for the communities, themselves.”
Braden has also created a
Facebook page promoting the pro-
gram.

One visitor at the Romulus Senior Center concentrates intently during the
recent one-day art lesson provided by students at Plymouth Christian
Academy.
Regular visitors to the Romulus
Senior Center recently enjoyed spe-
cial one-day classes in art and com-
puters from eighth-graders at
PlymouthChristianAcademy.
Guided by art teacher Susan
Aitken, the youngsters assisted with
food distribution and then became
instructors as part of Project
SHINE, a fifth annual “servathon”
in which the entire K-12 school
serves organizations throughout
MetroDetroit.
In the morning, the students
worked with a local food service to
unload and package cans and boxes
for those inneed.
After serving lunch, several stu-
dents partnered with seniors who
needed computer instruction, while
the rest of the group aided seniors
during a painting workshop, provid-
ing their paints, water and paper
towels, all while enjoying each
other's company.
Aitkin said the seniors were
inspired by a Powerpoint presenta-
tion about Matisse and the Fauvists,
watched a demonstration and then
worked through a still life painting
of a chair and flowers. She said sen-
iors and students interacted in a
creative venue in a relaxed and
enjoyable atmosphere.
Beyond the art workshop and the
computer lessons, student volunteer
Zach Racho said the experience
was more about engaging the sen-
iors.
“This was fun,” Racho said. “I
really liked getting to know them
andhear all their stories.”
Plymouth Christian, a non-
denominational school located in
Canton, educates students with a
biblical worldview. This was the
fifth year the school employed
Project SHINE.
“At PCA, we strive to educate stu-
dents to be lifelong learners, ser-
vants and leaders,” said Peggy
Paulson, staff member at Plymouth
Christian. “Project SHINE helps us
accomplish this goal by allowing our
students to see first hand the needs
in their community and to engage
with others outside their class-
rooms. Our eighth-grade students
and secondary art teacher, Susan
Aitken, were thrilled to be able to
volunteer at the Romulus Senior
Center and share their talents in
computers and art with Romulus
seniors.”
Rose Swidan, director of the
Romulus Senior Center, thanked
the students for their interaction,
saying the seniors were very grate-
ful.
