Inspired! Exhibit Arrives at the Gilbert Stuart Museum Gallery

Inspired!, an exhibition of Artists’ Best Work, will run during normal Gilbert Stuart Museum hours for three weeks in September.

The exhibit is the third to be featured at the new gallery space that was completed at the museum in March. Instead of a particular theme, artists were encouraged to think about who or what inspires them creatively when designing their featured piece.

“Each artist wrote down a few things about what inspires them,” said Executive Director Peggy O’Connor. “It was a fun way for artists to bring in their best work.”

Opening Reception begins on Friday, Sept. 5 at 6 p.m. and will wrap up at 8 p.m.

Gallery Night is Thursday, Sept. 18 and is also from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. It is open to all by donation.

Inspired! tickets are $10 for adults, $6 for children ages 6-12 and free for members. Admission includes access to the Gilbert Stuart Museum grounds and hourly guided tours of the building.

Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum is located on 815 Gilbert Stuart Rd. in Saunderstown.
