GIFTS OF ART WORK
Over the Museum’s 100 plus-year history, gifts of artwork—from single pieces to whole collections—have contributed to what has grown into a well-regarded collection of art from the 18th century to the present day. Newport Art Museum is interested in strategically growing its permanent collection and encourages donors to contact us so we may determine if your gift or bequest aligns with our collection development plans.
