During the 2025 Annual Fund,
Please help us continue to tell your story and ours!

2025 has been a year of honoring the past while continuing to build a strong foundation for a bright and exciting future at the Newport Art Museum. The museum has a story that began in 1912 and continues to this day. All of you have stories too that include the Newport Art Museum, and we are celebrating those stories in this year’s 2025 Annual Fund. We invite you to share those generational stories with us so that we can explore and celebrate them with the Newport Art Museum community.

With your generous support, this year has been an extraordinary convergence of successes for the museum. Our Summer Events, including the Summer Art Party, Wet Paint, and our four exhibitions, including Sean Landers: Lost at Sea, Howard Gardiner Cushing: A Harmony of Line and Color, Bobby Anspach: Everything is Change, and Through a Collector’s Lens: Iconic Photography from the Christopher Hyland Collection. To conclude the year, we are serving up “The Court: Art in Play,” a visual exploration of court tennis through the lens of contemporary art.

Our 2025 Annual Fund is now more important than ever, given our vision and plans for the future. Your tax-deductible contribution gift will be used to help support our team, our programs and exhibitions, our school, community outreach, and the costs associated with the building and campus maintenance.

Our new Executive Director, Harry Philbrick, shares his story:
