The Detroit Institute of The Arts is one of sacred historical jewels. Lots of benefactors from long ago had put their blood, sweat, and tears to make Detroit a place where we all can see the humanities. Unfortunately The DIA is losing some benefactors, funding from the Detroit City Government has been cut off and no thanks to Engler its state dollars will not be given to the DIA. Also the DIA can't used what's left of their endowment dollars just to keep the art museum open. The DIA Art Millage for August 7th the residents of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb Counties is for .12 mills with from any taxable income. You just be paying 12 dollars a year for the next ten years to keep the DIA open. You support will not only keep DIA open but also residents who are living in the Tri-County Area can enter the DIA for absolutely FREE! If you all counties or some voted no, then the DIA will have to close its doors until they can get more endowment dollars to keep it open.

The Detroit Science Center has been close for a while and will not open for a vert long time. Please don't let it happen to the Detroit Institute of Arts. Save our art museum before its too late. Detroit needs its arts and other humanities.

SO VOTE YES ON THE DIA ART MILLAGE ON AUGUST 7TH.

any thoughts?
