What’s Happening:
Pom Pom Making and Looms Immerse yourself into the world of the fiber arts. Inspired by artist Bobby Anspach’s use of pom poms in his work, this workshop will be led in partnership with Out of the Box Studio & Gallery and Downtown Designs Gallery & Studio! Artists can also utilize looms to create a personalized, unique small textile work!
Joy is Resistance Button and Flag Making Join us in partnership with Newport Pride to make buttons and flags inspired by the theme of this year’s Pride parade in Newport – “Joy is Resistance”. Whether you’re a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, an ally, or just love the theme as much as we do — create something to take home with you or bring to the parade the following week (June 28th)!
Crochet Circle As an extension of our newly debuted Crochet Club, join us for some drop in guided crocheting!
Book Sale Browse books from our basement! $5, $10, and $15 bins!
Enjoy Live Music on the Lawn
En Plein Air Painting Get excited for Wet Paint by creating art “in the open air”. Try your hand at a watercolor scene on the Museum’s lawn, then add texture and detail with colored pencils and markers.

Scavenger Hunts! Dig into our brand new exhibitions with a brand new scavenger hunt (or two!).
