This is Feedback Loop.

At the Newport Art Museum we’re interested in learning what our visitors think about the art on view, exhibition spaces AND the whole Museum experience.

The only way we can know what’s on your mind is if you tell us.

That’s where Feedback Loop enters the picture. We’ve developed a series of questions about artworks on exhibit with the hope they’ll prompt responses from you.

You can submit your responses anonymously, or if you’d like to begin a dialogue with some of us at the Museum, please include your name and e-mail in the spaces provided.

Eventually, we’d like to loop some of the exhibiting artists into the discussion.

Thanks for sharing. Let’s start a conversation.
