Dia Art Foundation

Founded in 1974 in New York, Dia Art Foundation is dedicated to advancing and preserving the work of leading artists from the 1960s and 1970s, with major galleries at Dia: Beacon and Dia: Chelsea.

Keepthinking was chosen to redesign Dia’s website, integrating the Qi CMS for seamless collection and content management, ensuring accessibility, engagement, and long-term preservation of its artistic programs.

A variety of filters caters for the various venues and types of exhibitions organised by Dia in New York, as well as other locations that belong to the Dia network, such as the Dan Flavin Institute or the Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson, in Utah. We created a versatile structure of content arranged in separate modules rather than a linear path, allowing Dia to build and arrange each page to their appropriate needs.

A list of activities with added functionality for purchasing tickets and relevant access information, as well as the ability to add Dia events to your own personal calendar.

For the collection, we realised filtering and sorting options as well as advanced searches. The user can choose to see only what is currently 'on view', as well as being connected to the exhibition an artwork may be included in, the artist(s) involved and specific details about the artwork.

"I feel a proper thank you is in order for another year – you are doing so much with Qi, and your team is wonderful, I continuously feel proven right that it was a brilliant choice for Dia." - Sara Tucker, Head of IT, Dia Art Foundation.
