On Tuesday, September 25^th, The Carroll County Arts Council will host a bus trip to the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC to visit the Edward Hopper exhibit.  This is the first comprehensive survey of Hopper’s career to be seen in an American museum outside of New York for more than 25 years.  His classic works captured the realities of urban and rural American life with a poignancy and beauty that have placed them among the most enduring images of the 20^th century.  The exhibit will feature such iconic paintings as “Nighthawks,” “Automat,” Drug Store,” and “New York Movie.”

Passengers will also have time to visit other parts of the museum or that National Mall.  The bus will depart from Westminster at 9 am and return at 4 pm.  The cost, which includes transportation, snacks and recorded audio tour of the exhibit, is $30 for Arts Council Members and $35 for Non-Members.

Advance reservations are required and can be made by calling 410/848-7272.

I saw the Edward Hopper exhibit in Boston.  It is the subject of my August 22, 2007 Tentacle column, “Edward Hopper: Poet of the ordinary.”

In a piece I submitted to the Westminster Eagle the other day, I mention the Carroll County Arts Council bus trip.  I spoke with the editor earlier today it will not run in this Wednesday’s publication due to space constraints.

So we can look forward to the article running in the September 5^th, 2007 edition of the Westminster Eagle.
