Contemporary Art Exhibition at Lippitt House Museum
From May 13 to June 20, 2026, Lippitt House Museum was home to an art exhibition of five, local contemporary artists each drawing on the house's architecture, time period, and stories in exploring the theme "On Being American." Site-specific pieces included works from curator and mixed media artist Susan Hardy; glass artist Steven Easton; textile artist Amalia Galdona Broche; installation artist Lynne Harlow; and photographer McDonald Wright.

In October, this exhibit will return featuring the works of RISD students in the Furniture Design department. Students were tasked with reflecting on the house, its history and furnishings, and creating new works in conversation with those elements.
