Your support of the Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center is more than a donation; it’s an investment in the arts, a tribute to American heritage, and a personal journey into the heart of creativity. Whether you’ve been a lifelong admirer of Hopper’s work or are new to his profound influence on American art, your contribution will support an ongoing appreciation for the power of artistic expression and the preservation of his childhood home, and all that happens inside it today as a museum.
