THE ART OF GIVING

As the city’s first art museum, the Corcoran Gallery of Art is a Washington tradition. As a privately funded institution, we rely on the generosity of our friends and supporters which enables us to continue our mission to present groundbreaking new exhibitions; to open our classrooms to those who might not otherwise have the opportunity to study art; to restore our historic building to better protect and preserve the art treasures inside. The dedication of others sustains and enriches the Corcoran.

There are a number of ways to support the Corcoran.

This signature black tie event of the Washington D.C. social season is an elegant gala where more than 1000 guests enjoy dinner, dancing, and socializing in one of D.C.’s most spectacular venues. Proceeds from the Ball support the Corcoran’s exhibitions, educational programs, scholarship fund, and award-winning community outreach initiatives.
