LaFarge Restoration & Art Center Studio, 73 Pelham Street, Newport, RI 02840

The La Farge Restoration Fund (“The Fund”) is dedicated to preserving a singular American artistic achievement—John La Farge’s 1880 comprehensive decoration of the Newport Congregational Church’s sanctuary An installation like none of La Farge’s other works, the sanctuary wall and ceiling murals and decorative windows, made mostly of opalescent glass, are largely intact today. In this modest Protestant structure built in the 1850’s, La Farge had a unique opportunity to imagine an entire space and to create all the elements of one magnificent personal vision. The La Farge Restoration Fund, founded in 1995, is pledged to restore the artwork completely.
