Edward Hopper House Scholarship for Artistic Curiosity
The Edward Hopper House Scholarship for Artistic Curiosity is given to one high school junior from each of the 10 public high schools in Rockland County. The schools’ guidance counselors choose the recipients, with recommendations from the art, music, and English teachers.
The program was started in 2010 by then trustee Victoria Hertz as a way of recognizing creative high school juniors as they begin preparations for college and beyond. The objective is to encourage these talented students to maintain their creative inclinations and consider pursuing careers in the arts. Each student receives a $100 award plus a five-year membership at the Edward Hopper House. The award has been generously underwritten since the beginning by Mary Ekmalian.
The ideal candidate is a student who, like Edward Hopper, exhibits unique creative sensibilities and follows his or her own artistic path—whether in fine arts, music, film, or writing. This may involve a non-traditional process, or the use of innovative media, and having the aptitude to give artistic expression to his/her vision.
