Summer Saturdays at the Corcoran
Posted July 10th by caroline in Corcoran Gallery of Art, DC, Washington, art
No longer is the Smithsonian the only source of art free-of-charge. Thanks to a grant, the Corcoran is offering free admission on Saturdays through August 29.
You can also check out some great events while you’re around. And tomorrow will be the second to last day to check out the Maya Lin exhibit, Systematic Landscapes. Lin rose to prominence after her design for the Vietnam Memorial was chosen for D.C. The exhibit features sculputral reproductions of landscapes found in nature, including a landmass in the South Atlantic Ocean.
From the website, here is a list of activities happening at the Corcoran tomorrow:
