Wikipedia Description: Corcoran School of the Arts and Design
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Corcoran School of the Arts and Design (originally the Corcoran School of Art and, until 2014, the Corcoran College of the Arts and Design), established in 1878, is an art and design school in Washington, D.C., United States. In 2014, the formerly independent college and the Corcoran Gallery of Art closed, with school operations being assumed by the George Washington University (GWU), and the gallery collection given free to the National Gallery of Art.

The Corcoran School is part of GWU's Columbian College of Arts and Sciences.

The first special event held that year was a fundraiser for the completion of the Washington Monument.

In 1877 the painter E.F. Andrews (1835–1915) started offering the visiting students and artists formal instruction in two dimensional media for no cost to the student. In 1878 William Wilson Corcoran donated additional funding to be used to establish a school to be associated with the gallery. After Corcoran's 1888 death, a small building was built in 1889 for the purpose of the gallery's burgeoning identity as a place for education in the arts. In 1890 the school officially opened as the Corcoran School of Art.

By the 1890s, both the gallery and the school programs had outgrown their respective spaces. A new, larger bu ...More...

2019 photos: Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Trips this year: a four-day jaunt to Massachusetts (Boston, Stockbridge, and Springfield) to experience rain in another state, Asheville, NC to visit Dad and his wife Dixie, three trips to New York City (including the United Nations, Flushing, and the New York Comic-Con), and my 14th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con (including sites in Utah). That's it so far!
