Established in 2001, the Artists on Artists Lecture Series highlights the work of contemporary artists from the perspective of their colleagues and peers. Each year artists are invited to give informal lectures, talks, or other presentations focused on a single artist represented in Dia’s permanent collection, exhibitions, or programming. Developed in the spirit of Dia’s mission, the series is motivated both by an in-depth focus on individual artists and a drive to facilitate new ideas and discourse across disciplines and generations.

Dia offers free admission to all Artists on Artists lectures.

Recordings of many past lectures can be found in Watch & Listen.

Support for the Artists on Artists Lecture Series has been provided by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
