Save the DIA

[Kelsey best]

DIA stands for Detroit Institute of Arts.  In August they are going to have a voting session on wether or not they are gonna close the DIA. Vote yes to save it please! The DIA is an oppertunity to kids all ages to experience real art in person! The DIA holds only original pieces,none that were copied,by Diego Rivera,and many other famous artists.

I've been there and it is very educational, there's this huge table that is based on the 1800s and it shows the sleeves of the clothes of what people back then would wear and it would show you an entire meal course and how the tables would be set up back then,and there's also this Donkey statue which is the only thing you can touch in the entire museum.

The museum is so huge it will take you days to see it all,but the murals and the arts are amazing!

please please vote yes to save it! please!They can't close it down! don't let them do it.

Here's a site for it, you can see some of the arts they have there.

It's a shame that they would even consider closing such a beautiful place filled with history and art. I hope that the community all votes to keep it up and running.
