This August while you're cooling off at the beach, construction at the DIA will be sizzling! We're taking from August 1 until just after Labor Day off to accelerate our construction as the city soaks up the last rays of summer. We'll see you back in September for Annie Leibovitz: American Music.

If you need a culture fix in August check out these options:

• Speakers Bureau can bring the museum to your adult group
• Fash Bash, the see-and-be-seen event of the summer, on August 26
• Mosaic Youth Theatre's presentation of Purlie at the Detroit Film Theatre's auditorium, August 18-20 & 25-27
