Dear Colleagues,

Are you attending AAM in Baltimore this May? If so, you are cordially invited to the Corcoran College of Art + Design Reception hosted by the Graduate Program for Exhibition Design. 

When: 6-8PM Sunday May 19th
Where: Baltimore Hilton Convention Center

Students will be displaying work from their Thesis Exhibition projects as well as other coursework. This is a great opportunity to get to know up and coming Exhibition Designers and to learn more about the Corcoran’s Graduate Program in Exhibition Design!

I would also like to invite you to the Thesis Presentations and Reception for the graduating class of the Master of Arts in Exhibition Design program at the Corcoran College of Art + Design.

The thesis presentations will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday May 4th and 5th in the Auditorium of the Corcoran Gallery. The reception will be held in the Atrium of the Corcoran Gallery on Wednesday May 8th, from 5-7 p.m.

You are welcome to attend as many, or as few, of the thesis presentations as your schedule permits, and are not required to be present the entire day. 

The reception will be a wonderful opportunity for you to see student models and design packages up close, and have a chance to speak with students about their work. Please come share a drink with us and celebrate the accomplishments of this graduating class!

I look forward to seeing you!

Warm regards,
Clare Brown
