Desc	Art Acquisitions: Acquisitions relate to the acquiring of art by purchase and by gift. Following standard museum accounting practices, the DIA recognizes the entire amount as an expense at the time of purchase or gift. During the fiscal year the DIA obtained full ownership of the art collection which was previously owned by the City of Detroit. On December 10, 2014 the DIA entered into various agreements to effectuate what is referred to as the Grand Bargain Agreement. As a result of the Grand Bargain Agreement the DIA received the Museum and Museum assets to be held in perpetual trust for the primary benefit of the residents of the City and Tri-Counties and citizen of the State of Michigan. The Museum Assets defined in the agreement included the Museum's art collection. The Grand Bargain transaction was accounted for by the DIA as an exchange transaction in accordance with ASC 958-605. The receipt of the art collection resulted in a change in net assets of $535,141,613. In addition to the art received in the Grand Bargain, the DIA purchased 57 pieces totaling $6,132,052 and received 76 gifts of works of art valued at $1,116,490. Each acquisition was accessioned into the DIA's permanent collection. All acquisitions are reviewed by the Collections Committee and approved by the Board of Directors and are paid for using restricted funds designated for the acquisition of art.	Desc

Desc	Exhibition, Collection and Information Strategies: Exhibitions, Collections and Information Strategies attend to core functions of the art museum: stewardship of the permanent collections and the means of presenting the collections and exhibitions to visitors of the DIA. Expenses for exhibition projects are funded from restricted funds designated for exhibitions: expenses include organizer's fees, shipping and insurance costs, construction, installation costs, and direct support payroll costs. Nearly all DIA staff participates in some aspect of exhibition work. Learning and Interpretation provides interpretive planning to ensure the visitor's educational experience. Collections management activities include the creation, maintenance, repairs and improvements of the permanent collections galleries and all art movements for loans, conservation and periodic rotations of the collections in the permanent galleries, oversight of art storage, day-to-day monitoring of the collections and location/inventory control. The DIA maintains collections records, administers all incoming and outgoing loans of art, and the accessions of art into the collections and deaccessions from the collections, in compliance with rigorous collections management policies. The DIA creates publication quality photographs of the collection (now digital files), manages photographic records, manages rights and reproduction requests and provides some event photography services. Publication professionals oversee the editing and production of permanent collection gallery and exhibition labels and interpretive media, edit museum ephemera, and produce all museum publications such as collection and exhibition catalogues. Conservators oversee treatment, repair and restoration of the permanent collections, and monitor the physical condition of the collections and the environment in which it is displayed and stored. Conservators also examine all outgoing loans from the collection and all incoming loans for special exhibitions. The Research Library and Archives has been an integral part of the museum since the late 19th century and serves the art historical needs of the museum staff, scholars and students. The collection contains more than 190,000 volumes, 300 periodical titles and 10,000 cubic feet of archival material. The DIA held the following exhibitions during FY 2014-15: Detroit - Bruce Weber, June 20 - September 7, 2014; Ordinary People by Extraordinary Artists: Works on Paper by Degas, Renoir and Friends, September 19, 2014 - March 29, 2015; Monet Guest of Honor, October 1, 2014 - January 4, 2015; Photographs from the Detroit Walk-In Portrait Studio by Corine Vermeulen, November 14, 2014 - May 31, 2015; Rembrandt Guest of Honor, December 19, 2014 - December 13, 2015; Make a Joyful Noise: Renaissance Art and Music at Florence Cathedral, February 6 - May 17, 2015; Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo in Detroit, March 15 to July 12, 2015; VIPs from the Paul McPharlin Puppetry Collection, March 20 - September 20, 2015; and 78th Annual Detroit Public Schools Student Exhibition, Detroit Public Library - Main Branch, April 18 - May 31, 2015.

Desc	Museum and Community Programs: The museum provides a full menu of public programming designed to provide educational opportunities, engage museum visitors of all ages and utilize the museum's position as a regional asset to extend the visitor-centered mission beyond the walls of the museum. Museum programs include the popular Friday Night Live program, bringing an array of local and national musical talent to perform in the museum. Weekend programs for families offer live performances, artist demonstrations and animated films. The DIA also programmed three seasons of the Detroit Film Theatre, the DIA's gallery of motion picture history and cinematic art. Community Partnerships with local non-profit organizations include events with the Detroit City Chess Club, Michigan Student Film Festival, Mosaic Youth Theatre, Arab American National Museum and the Michigan Theatre Foundation. Over the course of the fiscal year DIA programs served the following audiences: Detroit Film Theatre - 47,608 visits; Friday Night Live! - 27,742 visits; Sunday Music Bar - 11,790 visits; Family Sunday Programs 7,000 visits; miscellaneous program visits (artist demonstrations, community partnerships, special performances) - 13,699 visits. The DIA assesses the needs of the community and provides partnership opportunities through broad access, invitation and community engagement strategies. Access programs are designed to seek out underrepresented groups and provide opportunities for engagement and education. Examples of access programs include DIA Away: Think Like an Artist, County Days, College Night as well as Come Wonder Around for senior citizens. Each of these programs is designed to introduce community members to the museum by providing them with an invitation to participate in a tour of the museum and ease of access (transportation). Community relation staff works with departments within the DIA to develop and implement creative, collaborative projects that connect individuals to the DIA. Examples include the DIA's Inside\|Out project and DIA Inspired. Inside\|Out takes high quality reproductions to the streets and neighborhoods of the communities we serve and gives community members the opportunity to learn about the DIA's collection in their own neighborhood with temporary, walk-able outdoor galleries. To date, the DIA has worked with over 120 cities, townships and villages and has installed over 1,000 reproductions throughout the community. Community groups and the DIA staff work together to host community building events such as tours, talks and bike rides. The project has enabled the museum to develop lasting relationships with residents and community groups throughout the region. DIA Inspired: Diego and Frida was a community engagement project that was developed collaboratively with libraries throughout the region and invited residents to visit the Diego Rivera and Frida Khalo in Detroit exhibition and create very personal pieces of art inspired by what they learned. The DIA supports museum programs and exhibitions through coordinated marketing efforts including paid advertising, online/social media platforms, direct mail, partnerships, email marketing and media relations. The DIA continued promotion of ongoing museum programs such as Friday Night Live, Family Sundays and Black History Month.	Desc

The DIA also collaborates with the Michigan Alzheimer's Association on a gallery talk and art making program for people living with the disease and their caregivers. All L&I programs and interpretive plans are based on a learner-centered, constructivist model through which L&I staff and volunteers continually deepen their understanding of visitors in order to facilitate experiences that encourage people to notice more, wonder, reconsider and express ideas.

Such art is accessioned to the permanent collection of the museum upon approval of the Board.
Schedule D, Part III, Line 4	The works of art are held in charitable trust for educational, research and curatorial services.
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4	Income earned on endowment funds is used to further the mission of the DIA including funding for a variety of activities which are both restricted and unrestricted. These activities include, but are not limited to, operations, staff positions, art acquisitions, etc.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2	ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions recognized in financial statements. This guidance requires that realization of an uncertain tax position must be "more likely than not" before it can be recognized in the financial statements. The DIA completed an analysis of its tax positions and determined that no amounts were required to be recognized in the financial statements at June 30, 2015. The DIA does not expect an increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
