The museum's second gallery space was built in 1919 and was designed by Delano & Aldrich. Dedicated to the memory of the artist Howard Gardiner Cushing, the museum added the Sarah Rives lobby and Morris Gallery to the building in 1990.[2]
The museum's school is the Coleman Center for Creative Studies at 26 Liberty Street.
Historyedit
The Museum has its origin in the Art Association of Newport, which later became the Newport Art Association. It is one of the oldest continuously operating art associations in the United States. The association started during the art colony and Impressionist movements and was connected to the New York art scene. In 1916 the Association acquired the Griswold House to use as a gallery.[3]
