Spring 2020 Exhibitions, Performances & Conversations
Due to the current situation around COVID-19, all Corcoran exhibitions and performances are canceled at least until April 5.
The GW COVID-19 website is being updated regularly to include evolving guidance for the university community.
The Corcoran School of the Arts and Design provides a year-round forum for the exhibition of work by students and visiting artists. In addition, graduating seniors and graduate students have the opportunity to exhibit the culmination of their Corcoran School studies in a thesis exhibition titled NEXT at the end of the academic school year. Most of these events and exhibits are open to the public.
Stay in touch! Sign up for email announcements a few times a year so you are first in line for our openings. If you are a GW student, you can sign up for our twice a month emails to get invited to all events and openings.
