Like most cultural institutions, the Newport Art Museum lists various levels of membership participation, ranging from $35 for full-time students to $1000 for the Supporting Council. “The Patron level of membership has always been a good deal but now it’s even better,” says Rex. Museum Membership at the $150/year level covers an entire household as well as children and grandchildren who are accompanied by the Member, even if they don’t live in the same home. The Member receives a complimentary copy of one Museum exhibition catalogue and can also make use of two complimentary guest passes.
The Newport Art Museum’s collections and exhibitions focus on the visual artists of Newport and southeastern New England, reflecting both the rich heritage of the past and the lively art scene of the present. The Museum also offers art classes and camps, concerts, talks, trips, and special events throughout the year. The Newport Art Museum is fully accredited by the American Association of Museums and receives support from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts.
