The Corcoran Gallery of Art
About Us
The Corcoran is committed to making the 18th, 19th, and 20th century American art in its collections, and the emerging art of our time, accessible to the broadest possible audience through innovative exhibitions and educational programming, systematic research and rigorous scholarship. Its many activities emphasize the combined resources of its museum and school, and are directed toward diverse communities with widely differing educational and socio-economic backgrounds. Though proud of its important place in the international world of art history and scholarship, the Corcoran is ever mindful of its special obligation to serve the greater Washington region, especially its artists and its young people.
