May 3, 2023 DIA Membership Drive and Stamp Dedication
The Detroit Postal Customer Council, Michigan 1 District, on May 3rd, 2023 hosted a spectacular event at the DIA Detroit Institute of Arts Museum (voted in 2023 the top museum in the nation). We combined a membership drive with a Special Stamp Dedication unveiling of the Roy Lichtenstein Stamp and invited all to join us for a mental health day. After attending the dedication our guests were allowed to wander the museum and allow the art to take over for a while. Our event was held in the Diego Rivera Court.
