The actress Julianne Moore was spotted enjoying a beautiful spring Saturday at Dia Beacon, the art museum in New York’s Hudson Valley. Despite having a house in Long Island, she had never visited the museum before, jokingly asking not to tell the Hamptons she was there.
Ms. Moore was attending the Dia Art Foundation’s spring benefit, which also served as a 50th-anniversary celebration. The event raised over $1.5 million and attracted around 600 guests, including notable figures like artist and filmmaker Steve McQueen, actresses Frances McDormand and Chloë Sevigny, and N.F.L. commissioner Roger Goodell.
The benefit, sponsored by Bottega Veneta, honored six artists and brought together a mix of actors, collectors, philanthropists, and art-world fixtures. The attendees enjoyed a cocktail reception, a family-style lunch, and a dessert reception, all while admiring the museum’s exhibitions and installations.
Guests like Chloë Sevigny expressed their love for Dia Beacon, while others like landscape architect Sara Zewde marveled at the magical atmosphere created by the spring light and the gathering of people.
The event was a success, with guests enjoying the art, the food, and the company of fellow art enthusiasts. It was a day filled with laughter, conversation, and appreciation for the arts, making it a memorable occasion for all who attended.
