1869 Society

Join one of the most dynamic young professionals groups in Washington, D.C. and enjoy the benefits of exclusive networking and socializing with other up-and-coming art patrons ages 25 to 42.

Members of the 1869 Society have access to private exhibition previews and receptions at the museum, invitations to Cultural Cocktails events (think happy hour with a twist), free or reduced admission to exciting public programs, travel and learning opportunities designed just for Society Members, and one additional guest pass for free admission to the Corcoran’s renowned permanent collection.

Each year the 1869 Society also sponsors Fall Fête, one of the District’s most-anticipated parties. This exciting and glamorous event benefits the “artists of tomorrow” by raising funds in support of educational programming for area students.

All of this comes in addition to the great benefits Corcoran membership already offers: unlimited free admission to temporary and permanent exhibitions, guest passes, discounts at the Corcoran Shop and Café, reduced fees for Continuing Education classes at the Corcoran College of Art + Design, and a complimentary subscription to Night & Day, as well as to Member E-News.

Sophisticated and exciting programs combined with extensive networking opportunities—all against the backdrop of the Corcoran’s beautiful galleries—make 1869 Society membership an unparalleled experience.

Start taking advantage of 1869 Society Member benefits by joining today:

*A Special Interest Society is complimentary at these membership levels.

Current Members of the Corcoran may join the 1869 Society for an additional $65. Please call the Membership Office to add 1869 to your current membership.
