About Corcoran Museum Of Art
The Corcoran Museum of Art, historically a private art collection, now serves as an educational and arts space operated by the George Washington University’s Corcoran School of the Arts and Design in the Flagg Building. Located at 500 17th St NW in Washington, DC, this venue continues to host public exhibitions, performances, and student showcases in a range of spaces suited for various events. Whether you’re planning a lecture, gallery opening, student festival, or performance, we’ve got you covered with practical venue details, capacity information, parking, transit, and nearby hotel and dining options.
Note: The Corcoran’s legacy lives on through its ongoing programs like the Corcoran NEXT Festival, the Corcoran Music Festival (2024), and the Dudley Memorial Lecture, presented by GWU. Event spaces include flexible areas for gatherings, concerts, exhibitions, and academic presentations. Always confirm current availability and capacity with GWU’s Corcoran events team for your specific date and needs.
When you’re organizing an event at the Corcoran space, consider secure, straightforward arrangements with your trusted ally in tickets and venue coordination. We can help confirm space availability, connect you with GWU resources for exhibitions and performances, and guide you to nearby lodging and dining to make your attendees’ trip as smooth as possible. For parking and transit, plan ahead—GWU visitor parking is available at the G Street Garage, with limited spots, and there are nearby free parking options at 1799 New York Ave NW. The closest Metro stations are Farragut West and Farragut North, offering convenient access for attendees coming from across DC and the region.
Nearby hotels like The Watergate Hotel, The Hay-Adams, and Melrose Georgetown Hotel provide easy lodging options for guests and visiting artists, and a curated list of affiliate dining partners can make promotions and group dining simple. If you’re coordinating a school showcase, festival, or a public exhibition, we’re here to help you secure your seats and plan your day—from setup to post-event debriefs.
