Washington Project for the Arts\Corcoran (WPA\C) presents ANONYMOUS III

Washington Project for the Arts\Corcoran (WPA\C) returns to Flashpoint with ANONYMOUS III, showcasing “anonymous” artworks by 100 established and emerging area artists. Ten established area artists were invited to create 2’ x 2’ pieces, and serve as curators by inviting nine more artists to do the same. The resulting 100 artworks will be hung without artist identification, with creators’ names being revealed only after their pieces have been purchased, making ANONYMOUS III a playful survey of contemporary art in the greater DC area and a unique art buying experience.

Washington Project for the Arts \ Corcoran (WPA\C) 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.

Flashpoint, a Cultural Development Corporation project, is a non-profit, multi-disciplinary arts space dedicated to nurturing emerging artists and cultural organizations in order to build their professional capacity. Flashpoint provides services and training for cultural organizations to help strengthen their management capacity and offers exhibit and performance spaces that enable arts groups to focus on their artistic goals and expand their visibility. Flashpoint includes a contemporary art gallery, the 75-seat Mead Theatre Lab, the Coors Dance Studio and shared office space for arts organizations.
