Our Spaces
As a student in the Corcoran, you have the opportunity to use innovative spaces to create your art, both as a part of class and outside of it. From specialty studios, labs and spaces, you can explore and push the limits of your creativity.
USING OUR SPACES
All students must follow GW's Covid-19 safety protocols and be cleared to be granted access to the buildings. You must wear a mask the entire time you are in the studios and sign in is required.
Please note that using our spaces requires that you be a currently registered Corcoran student, training before use, and are contingent on class schedules. If you have any questions, contact [email protected] or check the open studio calendars for real time updates.
Please consult individual studio schedules to see availability.
