Ready to spend a weekend discovering immersive arts experiences? Plan your trip to Dutchess County during Upstate Art Weekend (June 25-29, 2026), an annual celebration featuring over 160 destinations and artists from across the Hudson Valley.
Explore the dozens of unique galleries, installations and museums here. World-famous destinations like Dia Beacon and distinctly Dutchess art experiences like Wassaic Project are just a short drive away from each other. Of course, the county’s central location makes it the perfect home base for jaunts in the Catskills and along the Hudson.
Speaking of world-famous art centers, don’t miss the special exhibits at Dia Beacon. This modern art museum—built in a former Nabisco box printing factory—features multi-media installations ranging from the striking sculptures of Louise Bourgeois to Roberth Smithson and Richard Serra.
