Geocache Description:


This cache is a part of The Detroit Institute of Arts Inside/Out program.


Mother and Child Yoruba, African (1960s)
Solomon Irein Wangboje (1930–1998) Nigerian
In many African cultures, images of mothers represent great power and are cherished. Nigerian artist Solomon Wangboje painted this woman cradling a child in honor of the person he considered his adopted mother: Detroiter and educator Catherine Blackwell. The two became close when he studied at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills. See more art with great local connections…at your DIA.

The Recreation Passport will be phased in gradually beginning February 10, 2014. Vehicles will not need the Passport during the first year of state management until their next license plate registration renewal date. For example, if the vehicle license plate registration renewal date is in March 2014, then the Passport is not needed on that vehicle to enter Belle Isle until March. If the renewal date is in November 2014, than a Recreation Passport is not needed until November. Once a full year has cycled (February 2015), all vehicles entering the park must have a Recreation Passport.

The Recreation Passport applies only to vehicles, not individuals. Pedestrians, bicyclists and those using public transportation can enter the park for free and will not need the Passport. The DNR is working with the city of Detroit to re-establish a public bus route to the island.
Annual Recreation Passport is $11.00

All caches placed at Belle Isle State Park by the Belle Isle Cachers, or Rattrak, are here with consent of the support of the DNR supervision for the island.
