EDWARD HOPPER HOUSE MUSEUM & STUDY CENTER
ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Sunday, October 1, 3:00-6:00 PM
Hosted by Ellis Sotheby's International Realty
Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center preserves the birthplace and family home of the iconic artist and advances exploration of his legacy in American art and formative Nyack years. This annual Benefit for Arts Education will be held at an amazing historic home in Snedens Landing, a community embedded in the arts since the early 1900s.
Join us at this spectacular waterfront jewel, Moon River. This 5 bedroom home with a private beach on the Hudson was built by artist and local matriarch Mary Lawrence Tonetti. It was designed by renowned architect Eric Gugler, who received commissions across America and Europe, and was hired by FDR to redesign the Oval Office in the 1930s - the same time he designed Moon River.
