Artist Carolus-Duran had the right
idea.

Canton Leisure Services to organize a

Amphitheater from6:30 until 9 p.m. Aug. 2.
The event will mark the final free
Thursday Night Concert series and the
featured entertainerswill beTrilogy.
Families are encouraged to come eat,
drink, and be merry, just like the family
featured in the masterwork currently on
display as part of the Detroit Institute of
Arts Inside Out program. All who attend
are invited to enter special drawings
throughout the evening for a dozen prizes,
a spokesperson said, including DIA pass-
es, Canton Leisure Services gift cards, tee-
shirts, and picnic/summer-themed prize
packs.
Cruisin' Custom Coneys will also be
onsite with dining options for those who
don't want to pack a picnic. Heritage Park
is located at 1150 S. CantonCenterRoad.
Other DIA replicas are on display near
the Summit on the Park, Canton
Administration Building and Canton
PublicLibrary.
DIA Inside|Out, an outreach project
which places replicas of some of the
Detroit Institute of Arts' most famous
works in unique settings, is sponsored by
the John S. and James L. Knight
Foundation for the purpose of weaving the
arts into the fabric of communities to
inspire visitors of these locations. Canton
is among 13 communities that have been
chosen for 2012 summer exhibitions.
