Mission Statement:

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.
