Dan Daly is a Hudson Valley based scenic designer, visual artist, and theater educator who loves building imaginative worlds both full-size and miniature! As a theater design instructor at SUNY New Paltz, Dan enjoys introducing young artists to creative ways of making, building, and storytelling.

In this hands-on workshop, kids will learn how to think like scenic designers as they create tiny objects and environments at scale. Drawing on his experience designing immersive theater, operas, and installations across New York and beyond, Dan encourages curiosity, experimentation, and the joy of making things by hand.

Dan is a resident artist at the cell theatre, a member of the National Queer Theater Collective, and the artistic director of OFO Theater. He can't wait to build tiny worlds with you!
