Dr. Taylor organizes visits to the DIA for students in her EXPS 410: Multiculturalism in School and Society course at UM-Dearborn and the History, Art, and Culture Program at Detroit’s Douglass Academy for Young Men. “DIA Away affords students the opportunity to explore museum resources directly and to think creatively,” said Taylor, who invited the DIA to bring the mobile museum to campus last summer.

DIA Away: Think Like an Artist is a free, mobile interactive classroom for students and a creative exploration space for people of all ages. DIA Away is a fully furnished, vibrantly designed double-expandable trailer that provides a rich educational program. Inside, participants discover some of the ways artists think and then have the opportunity to apply creative thinking skills at digital and hands-on stations.
