The Flint Institute of Arts (FIA), located in the DeWaters Art Center on the Flint Cultural Center campus, provides Flint area residents with art programs and services through its museum art school, traveling exhibitions, chamber music concerts, family-oriented events and docent-led tours.

The goal of the project is to better serve more Flint area residents, especially students.The Flint Cultural Center Foundation was created by the Community Foundation of Greater Flint in 2000 as a supporting organization of the Flint Cultural Center institutions.
