“Madam Speaker, I rise to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Newport Art Museum and Art Association. Founded in 1912 for the purpose of promoting and exhibiting fine arts and fostering art education within the community, the Newport Art Museum continues to enhance community life as a shared place for the arts and culture.

The museum has received full accreditation from the American Association of Museums, the highest national recognition of a museum's commitment to accountability, public service, professional museum standards, and excellence in education and stewardship. This valuable community resource inspires passion for the arts in diverse audiences in Rhode Island and other localities through exhibitions and collections, arts education, historic preservation, and arts and cultural programming. It's a true honor to recognize the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Newport Art Museum. ____________________”
