Community Art Fair

ATTENTION ALL D.C.-AREA ARTISTS!

The Corcoran’s first annual Community Art Fair is a juried exhibition and sale of fine arts and crafts made by D.C.-area artists. The fair will take place in the Corcoran’s North Atrium as part of Community Day at the Corcoran, a day-long celebration of art and creativity. A panel of Corcoran College of Art + Design faculty will serve as the expert jurors and will select applicants based on the quality of their work and artist statement.
