THE WARWICK MUSEUM OF ART benefits from the SHAW’S RECEIPT REWARDS PROGRAM

Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far - keep those receipts coming!

Everybody has to shop for food, but what if food shopping meant you could also help raise money for your favorite non-profit group? Now you can! Shaw’s Receipt Rewards Program is a unique fundraiser that returns 1% of purchases* to the Warwick Museum of Art!

This program is for any qualified non-profit organization looking for a safe, fast and easy way to earn money for their organization.

THE SKY’S THE LIMIT!

How it works is simple: Members of your organization collect Shaw’s register receipts from family, friends, business associates, relatives, neighbors, anyone who shops at a Shaw’s or Star Market!

Your group submits receipts to Shaw's, then 1% of eligible purchases* will be sent back to the Warwick Museum of Art. It’s that easy!

There is no limit to the amount of register receipts you can collect and submit. However, only original register receipts will be accepted. Register receipts will not be returned.

*Some items are excluded from this program, including but not limited to tax, postage stamps, money orders, lottery tickets, gift cards, phone cards, prescriptions, photo processing, milk, tobacco and other items prohibited by law.

Please drop off or mail your receipts to:

Update on Renovations and Rejuvenation 2009
The Warwick Museum of Art is under construction - a large renovation and revitalization project of the main gallery.  Boxer Construction has been working diligently with renovation and everything is right on schedule.  Renovations began mid January 2009 with the demolition and removal of the gallery walls.  The next step in the process was to sandblast the paint from the brick. Soon the new windows will be delivered and installed, and the hardwood for the floors will be delivered to acclimate to the environment.

The overall project plan includes: the deconstruction of the white accordion walls, the installation of 9 arched windows for the gallery, sandblasting old paint off the brick, the installation of oak hard wood flooring, a professional art installation system to hang paintings on brick walls, portable display units, a new stage, and more!
 
Our Grand Reopening is being planned for April 2009 with a fundraiser, art exhibition, comedy performances, raffles, music and more!

Hours of Operation
The gallery will be closed until our grand reopening in April 2009. Voicemail and email messages will be checked frequently.  401-737-0010  or info@warwickmuseum.org
