Become a Member of the Patron Society
We rely on our Patrons for their ongoing generous support of our exhibitions, annual fund and special events such as the Summer Art Party and Wet Paint. Our Patron Society is a special circle of supporters that assist in keeping this Newport treasure accessible to the public and community. They also help to preserve our collections and allow us to offer new and exciting exhibitions each year. In return for this generosity, you will be invited to special exhibition previews, VIP events and the first to know about Museum news and exciting announcements.
Are you 30 or younger and interested in becoming a Young Patron Society Member? Giving starts at $2,500 and up.
To be a member of the Patron Society or a Young Patron Society Member contact Susan Hanley, Senior Advisor, Sponsor & Donor Engagement. (401) 236-1569 or shanley@newportartmuseum.org
