Dia Art Foundation, established in 1974 and based in New York, NY, is a globally recognized contemporary art institution. It focuses on commissioning, supporting, and presenting site-specific, long-term installations as well as single-artist exhibitions, expanding the traditional museum model. The foundation aims to enable projects that are large in scale or ambition and might not find support within conventional venues. Its audience includes artists, curators, researchers, and members of the public with an interest in contemporary art and installation. Within the museum and cultural-institution landscape, Dia positions itself by prioritizing ambitious, site-based works and collaborations that cross disciplines. In 2026, the organization announced a leadership change with Philippe Vergne taking on the role of Artistic Director and Chief Curator, alongside Executive Director Silvia Karman Cubiña.
