Museums in transition: Corcoran Gallery sees its finances improve after rough patch

In April, the Corcoran Gallery of Art announced a partnership with the University of Maryland that the Corcoran said could lead to shared faculty members, joint student degrees and an expansion of the Corcoran College of Art and Design by hundreds of students. The details of that partnership have not been released but should be "coming soon," according to Mimi Carter, spokeswoman for the Corcoran.
