Warwick Museum's current home, the Kentish Artillery Armory, is listed on the national register of Historic Places. This red-brick armory has a gable-roofed rear fronted by a block with projecting square corner towers and a battlemented parapet. It was designed by the Providence firm William R. Walker and Son, the architects who designed Warwick City Hall.

The interior of the Kentish Artillery armory has been adapted for its present use as a museum, housing a gallery for exhibitions, classrooms, and office space. The long, narrow "shooting gallery" in the basement awaits renovation for its future use as a home for the museum's permanent collection.

The Warwick Museum of Art began as a Bicentennial project in 1974 by the non-profit organizations groups of the City of Warwick. Warwick's Bicentennial celebration was arranged so that different events would occur during the twelve months of 1976. February was set aside for non-profit groups to celebrate their event for the nation's 200th anniversary.
