Mission Statement

THE NEWPORT ART MUSEUM'S MISSION IS TO SHARE A DIVERSITY OF ART AND EXPERIENCES THAT SPARK REFLECTION, INSPIRATION, AND CONNECTION WITHIN OUR NEWPORT COMMUNITY AND BEYOND. THE MUSEUM WAS FOUNDED IN 1912 ON THE BELIEF THAT ARTS AND CULTURE HAVE THE POWER TO BRING DIVERSE GROUPS OF INDIVIDUALS TOGETHER, WHICH ULTIMATELY PROMOTES CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND STRENGTHENS THE SOCIAL FABRIC OF OUR COMMUNITIES. THIS CORE BELIEF CONTINUES TO GUIDE THE MUSEUM'S DIRECTION TODAY. MUSEUM OFFERINGS RANGE FROM EXHIBITIONS AND LECTURES TO ART CLASSES IN ITS MUSEUM SCHOOL AND ART TRIPS TO OTHER CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS. LOCATED ON 3-ACRES ALONG BEAUTIFUL BELLEVUE AVENUE IN NEWPORT, RI, THE MUSEUM'S GALLERIES ARE HOUSED IN TWO HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT BUILDINGS AND FEATURE NOTABLE SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS AS WELL AS SELECTIONS FROM ITS GROWING PERMANENT COLLECTION. THE COLLECTION CURRENTLY INCLUDES NEARLY 2,750 WORKS OF ART INCLUDING SCULPTURE, PAINTINGS, PRINTS, DRAWINGS, PHOTOGRAPHS, TEXTILES, AND GLASS ART DATING F
