WPA\Corcoran is an independent, non-profit 501 c(3) organization whose
mission is to promote excellence in contemporary art in the region by
presenting experimental exhibitions and performances, stimulating dialogue
between emerging and established artists, and involving artists in
educational programs that benefit local residents. WPA\Corcoran was formed
in 1996 as an organization that unites the independent spirit and regional
focus of the former Washington Project for the Arts (est. 1975) with the
institutional strength and historical perspective of the Corcoran Gallery of
Art. WPA\C is based at the Corcoran, where it initiates and supports a broad
range of projects both at the museum and at off-site locations in
Washington, DC.
