What they do
THE NEWPORT ART MUSEUMS MISSION is to SHARE A DIVERSITY of ART and EXPERIENCES THAT SPARK REFLECTION, INSPIRATION, and CONNECTION WITHIN OUR NEWPORT COMMUNITY and BEYOND. THE MUSEUM WAS FOUNDED IN 1912 ON THE BELIEF THAT ARTS and CULTURE HAVE THE POWER to BRING DIVERSE GROUPS of INDIVIDUALS TOGETHER, WHICH ULTIMATELY PROMOTES CIVIC ENGAGEMENT and STRENGTHENS THE SOCIAL FABRIC of OUR COMMUNITIES. THIS CORE BELIEF CONTINUES to GUIDE THE MUSEUMS DIRECTION TODAY. MUSEUM OFFERINGS RANGE FROM EXHIBITIONS and LECTURES to ART CLASSES IN ITS MUSEUM SCHOOL and ART TRIPS to OTHER CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS. LOCATED ON 3-ACRES ALONG BEAUTIFUL BELLEVUE AVENUE IN NEWPORT, RI, THE MUSEUMS GALLERIES ARE HOUSED IN TWO HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT BUILDINGS and FEATURE NOTABLE SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS AS WELL AS SELECTIONS FROM ITS GROWING PERMANENT COLLECTION. THE COLLECTION CURRENTLY INCLUDES NEARLY 2,750 WORKS of ART INCLUDING SCULPTURE, PAINTINGS, PRINTS, DRAWINGS, PHOTOGRAPHS, TEXTILES, and GLASS ART DATING F

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
