Graham Beal, the director of the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA), made clear in the museum’s September news bulletin that if even a single piece of art is sold to satisfy Detroit’s creditors, the DIA would be forced to close. Such an action, Beal stated, “would threaten the millage proceeds upon which we now rely to operate” and “would be tantamount to closing the museum.”
