Art on the Move is an annual summer arts program held in Detroit, Michigan.
The organization sponsors temporary art installations during the summer months. These temporary pieces are created by resident artists, who in turn mentor young artists as the public works are executed and erected.
Funding for Art on the Move has come from architectural firms in southwestern Michigan, the City of Detroit, and Detroit's Empowerment Zone Development Corporation.
The program has shifted from its original connection with the Detroit People Mover and now provides programs and exhibits for the Detroit Festival of the Arts.
Famous quotes containing the words art and/or move:
“The art which we may call generally art of the wayside, as opposed to that which is the business of men’s lives, is, in the best sense of the word, Grotesque.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
“The competent leader of men cares little for the niceties of other peoples’ characters: he cares much—everything—for the exterior uses to which they may be put.... These are men to be moved. How should he move them? He supplies the power; others simply the materials on which that power operates.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
