Spend the Night in an Edward Hopper Painting

Colored Folks Corner

Coinciding with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts’s Edward Hopper and the American Hotel exhibition, the institution will allows guests to walk through—and even spend the night—in a three-dimensional recreation of the artist’s painting, “Western Motel.” An exemplary study on isolation (a persistent theme in Hoppers work), the “Western Motel” experience will happen on the museum grounds. The exhibition will also feature more than 60 works by Hopper (and 35 by other artists) that address hotels and motels. It will run from 26 October 2019 through 23 February 2020.
