The public is invited to a meeting about the state of planning for the future of the Corcoran Gallery of Art and College of Art + Design. Participants will have the opportunity to express their own views about viable options to pursue.

The meeting follows an announcement made on June 5 that the Trustees have voted to explore the feasibility of relocation as one possibility for ensuring the long-term stability of the institution, its education programming, and its thriving College of Art + Design. No decisions to sell the building or relocate the museum have been made at this time.
