Business and political leaders have traditionally been the
driving force behind the establishment of our cultural
organizations, supporting and strengthening the arts. Since its
inception more than 100 years ago, the DIA has been nurtured by
civic-minded business leaders and through this history of generous
support the DIA has grown into one of this country’s preeminent fine
arts museums.
As a corporate partner you join a roster that includes such historic
luminaries as Ralph Harman Booth, James E. Scripps, Dexter M. Ferry,
(senior and junior), Joseph L. Hudson, Theodore D. Buhl, Robert H.
Tannahill and Edsel and Eleanor Ford. Your support strengthens and
extends the foundation built by these benefactors and helps ensure
the continuation of an institution essential to the well being of
our community. The city of Detroit and the intimate relationship
between art and commerce that has produced so many success stories
over the years remains just as critical today as it was in 1895 or
1995. This is best embodied at the heart of the museum in the
amazing frescoes of Diego Rivera, Detroit Industry. Here we
experience that powerful union of art and industry that embodies
Detroit and the DIA, and attracts visitors from around the world.
We invite you to establish a partnership with the DIA and join in
our mission to secure the legacy of the past and help bring the DIA
into a vibrant future.
