Corcoran and EALDC present DC Faces: Exploring the unique dynamics of DC's local and national art scene
Tuesday, June 12, 6:30 p.m
The Armand Hammer Auditorium, Corcoran Gallery of Art
500 Seventeenth Street NW; Farragut West (orange and blue lines)
In a city where so much attention is focused on the National Mall, the Smithsonian and other large-scale tourist attractions, what unique challenges do local arts organizations face in bringing visibility to their programs and exhibitions? Presented in partnership with Corcoran Gallery of Art, this panel investigates the ways in which organizations small and large, local and national are working together build a dynamic arts community in DC.
Panelists include: Lisa Gold, Executive Director of the Washington Project for the Arts; Ryan Hill, Director of Digital Learning Programs at the Hirshhorn Museum's YOUmedia Center; and Mariah Johnson, local artist and founder of Porch Projects.
Mark your calendars now; more information and invitation to come!
