Participants will first PRE-REGISTER online, and then check in at 10:00am in the Garden at the Edward Hopper House Museum to receive a location assignment, then will disperse with their own art-making materials to sketch in downtown Nyack and around Hopper’s neighborhood. Participants will return to the Museum by 1:00-2:00pm to scan and share artwork.

“Shopping at our Farmers’ Markets not only provides fresh, healthy food but also supports local farmers and benefits the environment by cutting down on packaging, refrigeration, and long-distance shipping,” said Dr. Mary Leahy, Rockland County Commissioner of Health.
Find out if you are eligible for these food assistance programs:
Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) provides checks through the Women, Infants, and Children Program (WIC) (845-364-2577).
Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) coupons are available to eligible low-income older adults (aged 60 and above) who live in New York State. For eligibility information, call the Rockland County Office for the Aging at (845) 364-2100.
Supplemental Assistance Nutrition Program (SNAP) and Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) help low-income working individuals, senior citizens, people with disabilities, and others afford healthy food for their families. Monthly benefits are issued through an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card, similar to a bank debit card or credit card, that can be used to purchase food at authorized retail food stores and farmers’ markets.
Fresh Connect Program Checks (FCC) are offered to active-duty members, veterans, and their immediate family members, as well as un-remarried surviving spouses of veterans, for fresh produce and other food items at participating farmers’ markets throughout New York State.
