The Corcoran School of the Arts and Design at George Washington University is teaming up with the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, to offer a three-year residency to an artist-led collective, the New York Times reports.
The collective, For Freedoms, "is known for centering art as a catalyst for creative civic engagement and direct action," the Corcoran says in a press release.
"This is For Freedoms' first joint residency and long-term collaboration with both a university and the National Gallery of Art, the nation's art museum," the release continues.
" Housed in the Corcoran and the National Gallery, with events across DC, the fluid nature of the residency will elevate students and emerging artists through programming, research and education and extend beyond traditional art structures in Washington, DC."
