| Description:In the words of its founder, the Corcoran is dedicated to art. Its museum presents, interprets and preserves the art of our times and of times past; its college of art nurtures and helps shape new generations of artists and designers. Education is a central focus, not just in the Corcorans classrooms but in its galleries and throughout the greater Washington region. Though American art is the collections emphasis, the art of other nations and cultures is, when appropriate, acquired and exhibited. |
