Discover the DIA's Art Around Brighton

Each day this week, Brighton Patch will feature one of the seven paintings, courtesy of the DIA's Inside|Out program, which are currently on display around town.

For the fourth year, the DIA's Inside|Out program has been bringing some of it's masterpieces to local communities and this year, Brighton was selected to host seven famous reproductions from its collection.

The paintings will be on display throughout the community as part of the Inside|Out program through the month of August.

For details of what paintings are spread around town, Brighton Patch will be featuring one painting each day this week. Next up is Staunch Friends, 1859 by William Frederick Yeames which is located in the Imagination Station pavilion.

Once Upon a Time…This court jester and monkey may seem like they belong in a fairy tale, but such duos actually performed in royal European courts. The artist depicts them with amazingly lifelike detail but deliberately leaves much to the imagination. Is this scene part of their act or are they taking a break? See the real painting and invent its story.
