WHITNEY HOPPER RIDE

On Saturday, July 22, 2023 (rain or shine) The Whitney Museum of American Art is teaming up with the Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center, OutCycling, and the Meatpacking Business Improvement District to celebrate iconic artist Edward Hopper’s birthday with the first-ever Whitney Hopper Ride. This approximately 60-mile round trip bike ride from Manhattan’s Meatpacking District to Hopper’s birthplace of Nyack, New York and back will take place July 22, 2023, on what would have been Edward Hopper’s 141st birthday. Cyclists will start their journey early Saturday morning, at 7 AM, outside the Whitney Museum (99 Gansevoort Street, Manhattan) with light refreshments before heading north to the Edward Hopper House (82 North Broadway, Nyack)
Edward Hopper House will offer snacks to registered cyclists between 10am-1pm, along with Hopper birthday activities, and tours of the artist’s home, including a look at his 1897 bicycle and the exhibition “Ellsworth Kelly: States of The River.” At the end of the visit, riders will head back to the Whitney which is located near the neighborhood where Hopper lived and worked for much of his life. Each participant will receive a food voucher, as well as an exclusive Whitney Hopper Ride water bottle and two tickets to return to visit both Edward Hopper House and the Whitney
