If you are interested in Volunteering for the FRIENDS, please email FRIENDS@Corcoran.org of call 202.639.1753.

FRIENDS of the Corcoran is the museum’s invaluable volunteer arm. Each year this dynamic group of contemporary art collectors and enthusiasts makes a significant contribution to the Corcoran’s permanent collection by raising funds for contemporary acquisitions. The FRIENDS also help hundreds of people gain a new appreciation for and understanding of contemporary art by sponsoring exhibitions and offering significant art outreach programs.

Each year, the FRIENDS host ArtCentric—one of D.C.’s most anticipated events—and an Acquisition Evening, at which members vote for their addition to the Corcoran collection.

And throughout the year, FRIENDS Members have access to special educational and cultural programs such as studio and gallery visits, lectures and gallery talks, and trips. All of this is in addition to the great benefits Corcoran membership already offers: unlimited free admission to temporary and permanent exhibitions, guest passes, discounts at Café des Artistes and the Corcoran Shop, reduced fees for Continuing Education classes at the Corcoran College of Art + Design, and a complimentary subscription to Night & Day, as well as to Member E-News.

Start taking advantage of FRIENDS of the Corcoran Member benefits by joining today:

*A Special Interest Society is complimentary at these membership levels.

Current Members of the Corcoran may join the FRIENDS for an additional $55. Please call the Membership Office to add FRIENDS to your current membership.
