Washington, D.C.’s Corcoran Gallery of Art is raising admission prices 18% and closing on Mondays in an effort to deal with an ongoing deficit problem. (The museum is also closed Tuesdays.) “The changes come weeks after an upheaval at the museum, which has been struggling with deficits for years. Fundraising problems caused the gallery to cancel an ambitious project to build a new wing, designed by the internationally known architect Frank Gehry. The project excited city leaders and museum officials, but not the necessary donors… The museum’s director, David Levy, resigned as part of the shakeup. And the board announced that it was developing a series of strategic plans for the 136-year-old institution.”
