The FIA's vast selection of media is sure to please all art lovers, housing the second largest collection in Michigan encompassing more than 6,500 objects. Whether it's glass, wood, sculpture, ceramics, or paintings, the FIA brings a more contemporary experience in art appreciation for the novice art lover, as well as the cultured fine arts devotee.

The Flint Institute of Arts and its Board of Trustees began a capital campaign in January 2004 to raise $12.6 million for renovations to the museum and art school and an additional $7 million to endow the future operating expenses of the expanded facility.

The Flint Institute of Arts has set a date for its reopening to the public in September 2005. When the FIA reopens its doors, the 85,000 visitors that come through each year will have access to a state-of-the-art facility with a better capacity to teach, to care for its collection, and to offer expanded public services for all to enjoy!
