Free Summer Saturdays
Saturday, June 20—Saturday, August 29, 2009
Join the Corcoran on Saturdays this summer for Gallery tours, workshops, demonstrations, and performances!
Thanks to a generous gift from the Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation, visitors will enjoy the Corcoran’s summer exhibitions and programming free of admission through the end of August.
Watch artist (and Corcoran graduate) Randolph Williams create beautiful chalk drawings of the Corcoran’s most popular American paintings on the sidewalk in front of the building.
Also look for artists’ demonstrations and hands-on activities in the Corcoran’s atrium.
New activities will be added regularly, so be sure to check back frequently for updates!
