Corcoran 1869 “DC on the Red Carpet” Ball Young benefactors strode in style down a red carpet at the Corcoran Gallery of Art’s 1869 Society ball, then danced to music from the Big Bertha Band after greeting friends over cocktails and fabulous food from Design Cuisine. More than $40,000 was raised in support of the gallery’s educational and community outreach programs. Hollywood-themed auction items helped to raise funds. Membership benefits to the society include sneak peeks at new exhibitions, lectures and monthly happy hours for its 1000 young professional members.
