And currently on view at Bristol Art Museum - The Providence Art Club "Hot Type" portfolio has become part of the Graphic Art Collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.
The Museum’s Graphic Arts Collection is the oldest print-collecting unit of the Smithsonian and focuses on the technical and social history of printmaking. The prints in this collection illustrate technical developments and cultural changes; they represent all kinds of graphic works that have influenced American society.

The Bristol Art Museum Presents A Printmaking Exhibit,
“All Types”

The print portfolio “Hot Type” was originally scheduled to open in Providence in 2021, the exhibit was canceled due to the pandemic.  Following the cancelation, the participating artists agreed that it was important to find another venue to exhibit the eclectic collection of printmaking pieces, transforming into “All Types” which include the original portfolio as well as other works. The Bristol Art Museum is proud to sponsor this unique exhibit to introduce southeastern New England to this unique collaborative art form.

  • BLM - The Board of Directors of the Bristol Art Museum mourn the senseless death of George Floyd and all the victims of racial injustice. The Board actively supports efforts to bridge racial disparities, to reject racism, and to work toward making Bristol a much more culturally rich and inclusive community through the arts. The Board believes art fosters learning, contemplation, and critical discourse; it recognizes positive change is achieved through active engagement with the town and residents. Change happens when communities work together to achieve common goals. Therefore, Bristol Art Museum is committed to developing exhibits and programs around equity, respect, and compassion. These are the organization's guiding principles and touchstones for moving forward.
