Mission 

Dia Art Foundation identifies, fosters, and presents those artists who have the potential to change the way we think about art and the world. To achieve this Dia:

• •    Provides artists with long-term support to realize the transformative; potential of their ideas;


• •    Commits to this support even when the artists’ ideas seem too ambitious or; impractical to be realized within the traditional museum context;


• •    Honors these artists’ visions by maintaining iconic projects and presenting; single-artist collections of breakthrough works.
