Education & Community Engagement

The Phillips Collection’s Education and Community Engagement departments strive to provide high-quality, engaging experiences that equitably serve the DC community and beyond.

The departments design relevant programs accessible to diverse audiences, collaborate and strategize with community partners, and provide, as Duncan Phillips said,  “joy-giving, life-enhancing” experiences through art and wellness.
