Hopper-Inspired Selfie Contest

Edward Hopper House is pleased to
announce the first Hopper-Inspired
Selfie contest.   As a way of embracing current
means of expression and engaging young people in art history and Hopper’s work,
we invite applicants ages 18 to 28 to compete in our first juried digital art
show featuring the ubiquitous “Selfie” with a twist: it should be
“Hopperesque.”  Edward Hopper is
known for his isolated figures, dysfunctional relationships, ambiguous
narratives, looking into and out of windows, railroad tracks, sunlight on
houses, and so on.  Any aspect of
Hopper’s signature themes, or evocations of his moods, is fair game for the
Hopper-Inspired Selfie.   

Applicants are asked to submit by
August 4, 2014.  To enter,
applicants must submit photos to Edward Hopper House @edwardhopperhouse via the social media sites Instagram, Facebook,
Twitter, or Tumblr using the hashtag 
#hopperhouseselfie.  Edward Hopper House staff will select
30 finalists, and ELLE DECOR Magazine will choose a first place winner to
receive a $100 prize. Winners will be
announced August 11.  All 30
finalists will be included in a digital exhibition on our website and on iPads
around the Edward Hopper House Art Center.

The project has been organized by our
summer interns, Domenica Battaglia and James Horohoe, and is underwritten by
Network & Security Technologies, Inc.
