The Newport Symposium
The Newport Symposium was initiated in 1993 as a forum for the study and discussion of a diverse range of arts and historical issues. The audience consists of academics, collectors, major donors to and trustees of museums and arts foundations, museum directors and curators, and professional furniture appraisers and art dealers.
Monday, April 26 through Wednesday, April 28, 2010
A visionary and talented designer can determine the style and spirit of an entire era. The 18th annual Newport Symposium will examine the great personalities and impresarios of taste who directed the course of design history. From grand interiors to masterpieces of furniture, the Symposium lectures will consider the artistic inspiration, technical virtuosity, and cultural forces that shape designers and their work through the ages.
A more detailed schedule will be available in January. For further information, please call (401) 847-1000 ext. 154, or email ptoomey@newportmansions.org.
Note: The 2010 Newport Symposium will be headquartered in the Hotel Viking at One Bellevue Avenue in Newport. Morning lectures and lunches will take place at the Hotel Viking. Afternoon lectures, tours, receptions and dinners will be held in various historic buildings in Newport.
