Dia Beacon Spring Benefit 2025 Supported By Bottega Veneta
On Saturday, May 10, 2025, more than 530 artists, philanthropists, museum directors, curators, and luminaries from the art, film, and fashion industries gathered in Beacon, New York, to celebrate Dia Art Foundation’s Spring Benefit and to pay tribute to artists Renée Green, Roni Horn, Cameron Rowland, Lucas Samaras, and Keith Sonnier on the occasion of the recent opening of five exhibitions of the artists’ work at Dia Beacon. Proceeds from the gala support Dia’s innovative programs, including its long-term installations, commissions of ambitious new projects, publications, public lectures and readings, and educational initiatives. The day was made possible through the generous support of Bottega Veneta.
The Benefit began with a morning reception held in the Gerhard Richter gallery, after which guests were invited to an elegant lunch in the Felix Gonzalez-Torres galleries and enjoyed a family-style seasonal spring lunch. The meal opened with remarks from Dia’s Board Chair, Nathalie de Gunzburg, and Dia’s Nathalie de Gunzburg Director, Jessica Morgan, who paid tribute to the honorees and reflected on Morgan’s ten-year anniversary at Dia. A special children’s program was offered during lunch for younger guests, and the galleries remained open throughout the day for guests to explore at their leisure.
Event design and production were by Cait & Jules, catering was by Olivier Cheng Catering and Events, and printed materials were by Hyo Kwon.
