Center for the Study of Modern Art

The Phillips Collection Center for the Study of Modern Art is an interdisciplinary forum for scholarly discussion, research, and publication on modern art. The Center engages artists, scholars, students, teachers, and the larger community in a variety of programs and courses. Center activities are designed to enhance the experience and understanding of the art of our time through the study of modern art, its sources, and its legacy.

The Center's offices, seminar room, and open lecture space are in the Phillips family's former carriage house, behind the main building of The Phillips Collection. The Center hosts a wealth of wide-ranging public programs including Conversations with Artists, the Duncan Phillips Lectures, and interdisciplinary  symposia with distinguished speakers from around the country and the world.

The Center offers university-level lectures and seminars, which are open to students and the public. For more information on courses offered, contact the Program Coordinator: mkuck@phillipscollection.org, 202-387-2151 x286.
