Fall Arts Education Benefit at Renamor and Edward Hopper House in the Ramapo Mountains | Events

The 11th Annual Fall Arts Education Benefit arrives on Sunday, October 4, 2026, staged between two evocative sites: the Edward Hopper House Museum in Nyack and the private Renamor residence in Tuxedo Park. This is part salon, part outdoor party—a city-adjacent celebration where contemporary conversation meets a 1920s estate lawn tucked against the Ramapo Mountains’ rocky ridgelines.

Begin the afternoon at the Edward Hopper House Museum (82 N. Broadway, Nyack, NY 10960), where pre-event access lets you move through James Prosek: Memory, Trees & Shadows before a small-group “Artist’s Eye” conversation. That 2–3pm talk pairs Prosek with Pieranna Cavalchini, the Tom and Lisa Blumenthal Curator of Contemporary Art a the Isabella Steward Gardner Museum, offering a rare peek into creative process and curation before the party transfers to Renamor. The final act is a 3–6pm benefit on the manicured lawn of Renamor, a 1920s Tuxedo Park residence that opens its gates to seasonal cocktails, light fare, lively auction moments, and panoramic views where oak-maple ridges slope toward Hudson Valley lowlands.

What makes this evening singular is the collision of place and purpose. The Hopper House anchors the program with historical resonance—Hopper’s connection to the region is woven into the museum’s mission—while Renamor stages an outdoor event that feels both intimate and cinematic: broad lawns, stone walls, and the kind of historic architecture that defines Tuxedo Park. The surrounding Ramapo foothills contribute more than backdrop; their glacially scoured rocks and mixed hardwood forests give the party an unmistakable North Jersey/New York borderland character that you won’t find at an urban gallery benefit.

Tickets are tiered to support arts education: a VIP ticket (Artist’s Eye Conversation + Benefit Party) and a Party Only ticket. Early Bird discounts apply through Sept. 13 with promo EHHEARLYBIRDTKT. The event is generously sponsored and hosted by Rich Ellis of Ellis Sotheby's International Realty. Practical notes: event parking and a shuttle to Renamor will be provided closer to the date; details on check-in, accessibility, and other logistics are coordinated by the museum.

Whether you come for conversation with contemporary curators, to browse Prosek’s work, or to bid in the auction beneath an open sky, this benefit is built to fund arts education while letting the Ramapo landscape shape the evening. For questions or alternative payment options, email [email protected] or [email protected], or call 845.358.0774. Tickets are also available by check mailed to Edward Hopper House Museum, 82 N. Broadway, Nyack, NY 10960.
