Marcia Elizabeth Evert Hopman (1920-2013) was an American painter and graphic artist. She studied at George Washington University and at the Corcoran Art School. In 1945 she attended the Harvard Graduate School of Design under Henry Atherton Frost, entering as one of the few women who studied architecture, urban planning, and landscape design. In 1946 she completed a course at the New School for Social Research in New York pursuing her interests in visual arts, science, and technology. The following year she was accepted to Black Mountain College in North Carolina, working closely with the painter llya Bolotowsky and in woodworking with Mary Gregory. Hopman’s work from this time clearly shows the Bauhaus training and modernist influence present at the GSD and Black Mountain College, which she developed and added to continuously throughout her career.
To us, the perfect day is spent exploring and experiencing all kinds of art. That’s the idea behind AMA Art Hop! On our event calendar and in our social media, if you see an AMA Art Hop event listing, that means it’s taking place outside of the museum and is being organized by a cultural partner, school/university, or professional visual arts venue or space in or near Arlington. We love to share information about other visual arts exhibitions and festivals that are taking place in our area so you can discover them, too!
We’ve also been on the hunt for a directory of all the public art in Arlington. While these lists on their own may not be comprehensive, together they paint a great picture (see what we did there?) of how active our city’s public art scene has become:
