Art Around the Corner is a partnership program between the National Gallery of Art and D.C. Public Scholls.  We take a whole-school approach to partnerships, creating programs for students, educators, and families. We seek to build authentic relationships with District of Columbia Public School (DCPS) communities through collaboration and multiple engagements. Our programs are rooted in creative expression and using art as a platform to build connections with new ideas, ourselves, each other, and the world.

Art Around the Corner offers a variety of programs based on the individual needs of a school community. Program offerings include school and gallery experiences, teacher workshops, family engagements, and opportunities to work with local artists. In addition to working with individual schools, Art Around the Corner supports DC Public Schools on a district level through professional development workshops, art supplies and resources, curriculum development, and local artist videos and lesson plans.  All programs, materials, transportation, and related costs are free of charge for DC Public Schools.
