Newport Art Museum and its collection

Newport Art Museum
Source

Newport Art 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 our Museum’s direction today. Our Museum’s mission is to share a diversity of art and experiences that spark reflection, inspiration, discovery, and connection within our Newport community and beyond. The Newport Art Museum is one of the oldest continuously operating and most highly regarded art museums and schools of its kind in the country.
