Determined to re-allocate some of what has now become a $65 billion industry, Somerville founded The Fearless Artist and made it her mission to level the playing field and open the art market to creativeswith talent and ambition who haven’t historically had access to buyers. Now a graduate student in the Corcoran School’s MFA in Social Practice program, she launched The Fearless Artist’s Young Curators Program to helpyounger artists get their work seen, shared and sold.Find a ProgramExplore Our Research.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width:100%;width: 650px; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }.justifyButtons {display:block!important;text-align:center;margin:auto;width:100%;padding:0;} .justifyButtons li { display:inline-block; width:100%;padding:12px 12px 0 0; max-width:375px; list-style:none;} } justifyButtons li span {width:100%:} .justifyButtons li a {display:block;}.justifyButtons {display:block!important;text-align:center;margin:auto;width:100%;padding:0;} .justifyButtons li { display:inline-block; width:100%;padding:12px 12px 0 0; max-width:375px; list-style:none;} } justifyButtons li span {width:100%:} .justifyButtons li a {display:block;} NEWS AND EVENTSPolitical Journalists Dana Bash, Chuck Todd to Receive Honorary Degrees Bash and Todd will become honorary Doctors of Public Service during the May 15 Commencement celebration on the National Mall.Student Research Shines at SEAS R&D ShowcaseIn Photos: Day of ExcellenceClass Speaker for Commencement 2022 Announced STORIES FROM OUR COMMUNITYCivil Engineering Students Compete in Steel Bridge CompetitionA team of GW civil engineering students spent the past several months designing and building a 20-foot, scale-model steel bridge—using the skills they have learned in the classroom to compete at the regionalStudent Steel Bridge Competition.
