Every Saturday they will have highlight tours from the hours of 12pm to 3pm. Outside, a Corcoran school alumni, Randolph Williams, will recreate works of art from the Gallery’s collection in chalk on the corner of 17th Street and New York Avenue for your viewing pleasure.
The Corcoran Gallery has a variety of collections ranging from contemporary to classic. Some of their recent acquisitions include “Raised by Wolves. Photographs and Documents of Runaways by Jim Goldberg” and “Sunrise on the Potomac by William Douglas MacLeod”. See below for a look at what else in new.
The Gallery’s primary goal is to share their collection with the public. They hold a variety of primarily American art from the 18th, 19th, and 20th century. However, they do have a collection of European art also on display. Regular admission price is $10 for adults, $8 for students and seniors, and free admission for children under 12. See the links below for more Gallery information.
The Corcoran gallery is one of D.C.’s little known gems. Go to see something new and be inspired!
