Overview & Events
Student Directed Activity – Art Making Inspired by Alone, Together

Mid-Season Opening Reception

This is the fourth exhibition since 2019 in which the museum has invited students from СÀ¶ÊÓƵ's Curatorial Practice class to look to its Corcoran Legacy Collection not only as a source of exhibition content, but as source of provocations about this content. Alone, Together explores art as a form of social connection. In today’s world, people often feel disconnected from themselves and each other — how can we change that? Presenting works by Washington area artists from 1967–1998, including Rebecca Davenport’s Self-Portrait, Lani Irwin’s Queen of Hearts, and William Woodward’s Promenade, the exhibition invites viewers into domestic, natural, and abstract spaces for reflection, conversation, and shared experience.
