• Welcome to Newport PhotoGuild •

The Photographers' Guild of the Newport Art Museum (aka the Newport PhotoGuild), an affiliate of the Newport Art Museum, Newport RI, is a non-profit organization of local individuals with a common interest in photography:

• The photographic heritage and history.
• Individual photography ranging from family photos to fine art.
• The technology of photography: film, digital, and printing.
• A focus on the rich and diverse subject matter in our region.
• Gallery showings and display.

We warmly welcome everyone who shares these interests and we are enriched by every individual and their experience. With a new and exciting schedule of programs for this season, we have something for everyone. Our membership, (over 100 strong!) is diverse, fun, and interesting. Please join us!
