Summer Art Party 2023

Join us for The Summer Art Party as we honor Exhibiting Artists Bob Dilworth and Ana Flores.

This summer a Garden of Delights awaits as we gather to support dynamic arts programming, community initiatives, and exhibitions of the historic Newport Art Museum. Our Summer Art Party will celebrate our Museum’s exceptional history and officially open our summer exhibitions “Bob Dilworth: Backyard” and Ana Flores: “Shaman Ladders and Other Stories.” 

Featuring large, lush, wild landscapes and portraits spilling with florals, “Backyard” draws on the memories and experiences from the artist’s life, exploring issues of identity, community, and race. Flores’ large-scale sculptures derive from her finding peace upon entering the United States from Cuba when she settled next to the sacred land of the Narragansetts, the indigenous people of Southern Rhode Island. Her poetic sculptures evoke the complex ecology of her homes in Charleston, Rhode Island and Nova Scotia.

Event co-chairs Frank Garofolo & Ellie Voorhes have organized an extraordinary evening of performances, cuisine, and dancing. All proceeds from the evening will support the Museums’ efforts to provide space to learn, educate and grow.
