Family Programs
Family programs at Dia invite people of all ages to exercise their creative agency through intergenerational, participatory, and playful artist-led engagements, both in the studio and in the galleries.
Saturday Studio
Join practicing artists for free workshops of art-making, material experimentation, and play. Designed for all ages, Saturday Studio is a family-friendly program that is most suitable for children ages five and up. All families participating in the Saturday Studio program receive free admission to Dia Beacon for the day.

Play Sets
Explore the galleries through in-depth engagements with a single artist or artwork. Each program will include hands-on exercises that invite participants to see, think, and imagine in new ways. Recommended for families with children ages five and up.
