Student Exhibitions
We encourage our students to show and exhibit their work, as this can be an important aspect of being a working artist. Informal and formal presentations are accepted. Proposals for traditional and experimental use of spaces across campus and within Corcoran buildings are welcomed.
The primary location for student work is within the Flagg building. Spaces within the Flagg building range in size and style. Students will work with the exhibition manager to select the best space for their project.
