 In April 2018 in the face changing business venues in her original hometown, Bean created a new business concept in an architecturally distinguished historic home at 31 Main Street adjoining her grandfather's former home, bringing together 3 dozen antiques and art dealers under the name Freeport Antiques & Heirlooms Showcase, adding an auction component in 2019 to headquarter Casco Bay Auctions.Bean's Wyeth art and business interest, coupled with previous trusteeships in the arts and conservation, brought her in 2014 to the attention of the Brandywine Conservancy and Museum of Art in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, where she serves on its Board of Trustees.In 2019 she founded The N.C.Wyeth Research Foundation and Reading Libraries, a non-profit private operating foundation established in Massachusetts to focus on the illustrator's home in Needham and other locations important to his leading contribution to the American age of book, magazine, calendar and poster illustration.
