temporary exhibitions will start a conversation about issues that are important to the many com- munities of Washington, as well as the art. Part of the dialogue will be the role of the Corcoran, as it refurbishes and rearranges its galleries and implements its plan to steady the venerable ship and its arts college. — Jacqueline Trescott

A Touchstone milestone
Touchstone Gallery, homeless since October, is landing in its new location soon, with a grand opening Sept. 10. Touchstone, a critical part of
the Washington art scene since 1976, is taking over a ground- floor space at 901 New York Ave. NW. The 50 members of the art cooperative will continue to mount solo and group shows, and Touchstone is keeping a pol- icy of contributing a percentage of sales to local organizations. — Jacqueline Trescott
White House neighbors The White House Historical
Association has released the first of two journals discussing the history of the homes and historic buildings surrounding that most famous of homes on Pennsylva- nia Avenue.
Among the places featured in the White House History journal are St. John’s Church, designed by prominent Washington archi- tect Benjamin Latrobe; the equestrian statue of Andrew Jackson, the first bronze statue cast in America; and Blair House, saved from destruction by the intervention of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The journal also focuses on the social house of the mid-19th century, the Corcoran Mansion — home to W.W. Corcoran, a Washington banker and philan- thropist and the founder of the Corcoran Gallery of Art. The home was demolished in 1922 to build the U.S. Chamber of Com- merce building. Part two of the journals will appear this fall. The publication can be purchased for $6.95 by calling 800-555-2451 or sub- scribing at www.whitehouse
history.org. The nonprofit association publishes White House History twice a year on varying topics, from gardens and decor to in- habitants.
