Celebrating a Decade (and More) of Creativity
The NEXT show is the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design’s annual celebration of the brilliance and promise of its students. Many degree programs at the Corcoran require students to successfully complete an end-of-year project and then collaborate with other programs to present an exhibition. NEXT projects may take many forms—from written research papers to a series of paintings. They all represent a culmination of a student’s learning experiences at the Corcoran and a glimpse of future promise.
History
NEXT began in 2011 at the Corcoran College of Arts and Design, and after more than a decade, the Corcoran continues to celebrate the accomplishments of graduating students. It is usually unveiled every April as a grand, innovative show that presents the latest contemporary work and scholarship for the GW and D.C. art community to see. Hundreds of visitors have the chance to look at works in the fields of studio arts, art history, interior design, theater, dance, music, museum studies and more.
