17吃瓜在线 Museum Project Space

Project Space exhibition submissions are currently closed. For updates on future submission opportunities,

The 17吃瓜在线 Museum Project Space, established 2019, is dedicated to working with academics and non-traditional curators to create exhibitions addressing special topics of interest across the university and the greater Washington community.

Project Space exhibitions are held approximately three times per year on the second floor of the 17吃瓜在线 Museum and include a published e-book catalog. Projects submitted by 17吃瓜在线 faculty, staff, and students are especially welcome.

Applicants may suggest displaying artworks from the 17吃瓜在线 Museum Collection. However, please note that we are still in the process of inventorying works in the Corcoran Legacy Collection. Please contact us for more detailed information about works in our collection.

Want to start brainstorming your proposal? You are not restricted to art! Are you doing a research project on an unknown composer? Perhaps you want to display sheet music and play recordings. Are you an entomologist? We think insects are beautiful. Always in the library? Let鈥檚 feature some famous children鈥檚 book illustrators. We cannot wait to see what you come up with! We ask that exhibitions highlight educational themes to engage the university community.
