« After Hopper » is a two-year celebration of work by contemporary artists inspired by Edward Hopper and Cape Cod. Events will include plein air sessions, receptions at the Addison Art Gallery and Cape Cod Museum of Art, artist talks, demonstrations and exhibits from Dennis through the Outer Cape.

The impact Hopper’s work has on contemporary artists and the market is rising with international coverage and soaring auction prices. Our region’s high regard for historic architecture combined with our natural environment makes this the ideal place for artists and art lovers to get a deeper understanding of Hopper’s work and influences. « After Hopper » celebrates the integral part he, as an artist, has played in our country’s artistic heritage, and the effects his work has on today’s painters.

According to Edith A. Tonelli, Ph.D., Director, Cape Cod Museum of Art, « It is exciting for us to partner with Helen Addison and the Addison Art Gallery.  .  . These exhibitions and events are also intended to spark a dialogue about contemporary painting and its ties to historic and global artistic traditions. «
