OAKLAND COUNTY — Oakland Community College is continuing its partnership with the Detroit Institute of Arts through the DIA’s Inside|Out program.

In 2019, OCC partnered with the DIA to annually showcase reproductions of the art museum’s collection.

There are four new reproductions being featured at OCC’s Orchard Ridge Farmington Hills campus.

The reproductions are set to be featured through October.

The reproductions being featured at the college are “Nocturne in Black and Gold, the Falling Rocket,” by James Abbott McNeill Whistler; “The Recitation,” by Thomas Dewing; “Untitled,” by Karin Kneffel; and “Animals in a Landscape,” by Franz Marc.

“We are pleased to continue the Inside|Out partnership with the DIA we began four summers ago and excited that we have all new reproductions from the museum’s collection on our campuses,” OCC Chancellor Peter Provenzano stated in a press release. “Continuing to be part of the program through October gives our students, employees and the local community an additional opportunity to enjoy the important subject matter and history that each piece represents.”
