The Present
Today's Hopper House is a community cultural center and gallery space for artists. The ground floor is a vibrant and exciting exhibition space that features juried theme shows and exhibits of emerging and established artists. The upstairs rooms are private artist studios, which are sometimes open to the public. In addition to a busy gallery schedule, there are classes and workshops for adults and children, summer jazz concerts in the garden, an annual Artists in the Park event, a monthly poetry workshop, an annual book fair, and special events – all made possible by an active and devoted membership and through the generosity of local sponsors and the New York State Council on the Arts.
Because the Edward Hopper Landmark Preservation Foundation was incorporated after Edward’s death and his artwork was already dispersed, we do not have any original Edward Hopper works here at the Hopper House, We strive, however, to honor the artist’s legacy and nurture the house as an important influence on his art throughout his life – views from his childhood, the play of light in various rooms, and nearby post-Victorian architecture were distilled into his art, creating the powerful moods in his paintings. A section of the house is sometimes dedicated to exhibits about Edward Hopper's life and career, and we have books, posters, note cards, and postcards of Hopper’s work available for purchase.
The Edward Hopper House Art Center is located in a residential neighborhood, just a short stroll from the quaint shops of Nyack.
