DONATE

ANNUAL APPEAL

Now is a wonderful time to support the Edward Hopper House Museum. As you consider your year-end giving, please make an Annual Fund gift today of $1,000, $250, $100, or $50. Your tax deductible contribution, of any amount, will make an immediate impact on our activities and our forward-thinking path and growth.

GIVE TODAY!

This Annual Appeal is especially critical in the current economic environment. Increased ticket sales, membership revenue, and grant awards alone do not equal the budget needed to fulfill the mission and future plans. Your generosity will offer needed support to keep the doors open regularly, care for the house and collections, retain expert staff, and present exhibitions and programs. Most importantly, your gift will promote future sustainability and growth.

An additional donation of $50 or $100, can make a difference to others too, by funding Scholarships for Artistic Curiosity, a relaunched award for ten students in Rockland County who, like Edward Hopper, exhibit unique creative sensibilities and plan to pursue an artistic path.

Planned Giving

A bequest to Edward Hopper House is a simple and effective way of supporting this historic house and its programs. Bequests offer an estate tax savings since the donation is deducted from your gross estate. You may designate Edward Hopper House as the direct beneficiary of a specific amount of money, property, or a percentage of your estate. Edward Hopper House may be named to receive a portion of the estate once all other bequests have been designated. (It is prudent to provide for an alternate beneficiary, such as Edward Hopper House, in the event the specified individual beneficiaries do not survive you.) Your bequest may be restricted for a specific use (eg, arts education, restoration of the building...), or leave unrestricted. Contact us at the Edward Hopper House for more information.

Edward Hopper is an iconic American artist, and we need to be sure the community, and the world, can continue to celebrate this important artist. As funding for the arts remains uncertain, Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center needs your support. Please consider making a contribution today. We look forward to exploring more of Hopper's world with you.

Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center’s “Would Be Artist” Kits broaden our reach to new and diverse audiences.

Here’s how the Museum uses the Kits:

Youth and family programs where they can borrow a Kit to use on our Walking Tour
“Hop into Art” Lab where families can drop in and do activities facilitated by Teen Nighthawks

YOUR SUPPORT EXPANDS THESE KITS’ USE in new Community Service Projects this year with:

Regional Libraries, for children to check out to sketch on one’s own
Nyack Center, for its after school and summer camp art instruction
Marydell Faith and Life Center: for the children of their ESL learner program

As a youth, Hopper used a small wooden box for his art materials. On its lid, he inscribed Would Be Artist. Our “Would Be Artist” Kits, filled with artmaking tools and a pencil box, encourage youth today to explore, observe and sketch their world - just like Edward Hopper.

Our “Would Be Artist” Kit is a canvas backpack filled with colored pencils, eraser, sharpener, sketchbook, and pencil box (like Hopper’s!).

Your support helps expand this kit to include grade-level appropriate art materials and program instruction.
