The organizers of the two-year, high-profile “After Hopper” project have extended an invitation to artists to participate in the event.
Addison Art Gallery recently sent out e-mails inviting them to come to Cape Cod and paint, and be a part of this ambitious program that includes exhibitions, plein air painting by invited artists, lectures, and more.
The key component of “After Hopper” is the gathering of artists in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, for a week of painting the scenes that inspired Hopper. From July 13 through July 17, an estimated 50 painters will create works at locations from Orleans to Provincetown. A chunk of the participating artists are associated with Addison Art Gallery, in Orleans, Massachusetts, the host of the exhibition of plein air work. (The gallery reception will be held August 1.)
The pieces will be on view at the Cape Cod Museum of Art in Dennis, Massachusetts, from August 29 through November 15. Some of the art would go on to show in the Truro Public Library, to honor Hopper’s hometown, and in Wellfleet at the Wellfleet Public Library. In 2016, another round of exhibitions are planned.
In addition to the shows, there are lectures, plein air painting demonstrations, and an artists panel planned. See the complete schedule here. To find out more about how to be involved, e-mail [email protected].
