On the evening of Thursday, February 12, 2026, the galleries of the Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center in Nyack, New York, host "By Your Side" Songs & Sips featuring John Malino. This one-and-a-half-hour program (doors open at 6:00 pm) pairs intimate live vocals and guitar with a juried art exhibition titled "Side by Side," part of the museum’s 55th anniversary celebration. Tickets are $30 for the public and $25 for members; seating is limited and a single complimentary glass of wine is included, with additional glasses available for a $5 donation. Step inside the 82 N Broadway address and you’ll move from a cool Hudson Valley evening into warm gallery light. The performance squeezes between paintings and curated displays by Jill Hoy (b. 1954) and the late Jon Imber (1950–2014), letting songs breathe against canvases and period architecture. The museum’s first floor is ADA accessible, and the layout encourages close, listening-oriented experiences—the kind of small-venue show where a single guitar note can still fill the room. This event stands out because it stitches live music directly into the exhibition experience. Rather than separate concert hall and gallery, the museum becomes both stage and auditorium, accentuating the emotional arc of romantic-era songs while giving visitors time to study brushwork and composition. For travelers making a cultural stop in Nyack, the evening offers a concentrated, walkable arts outing: a short stroll from downtown restaurants and local shops, and a cultural highlight in Rockland County’s creative scene. Plan to arrive early; doors open at 6:00 pm and seating is limited. The program runs 6:00–7:30 pm and closes out in time for late dinner plans. Display labels and wall text frame the musical selections, and docents can point out exhibition highlights before the set. The house’s intimate scale rewards quiet attention: conversations are hushed, phones are dimmed, and the focus stays on music and image. Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s with a partner, meeting a friend for a brief cultural evening, or chasing a winter arts circuit in the Hudson Valley, this Songs & Sips night offers a concentrated dose of place-based creativity. Buy tickets early to secure a seat, bring a warm coat for the walk back to Broadway, and plan to linger afterward to see "Side by Side" before it closes on Sunday, February 15. The venue’s small scale also makes it a favorite for photographers seeking moody interior shots and for listeners who prefer performances without amplification. Staff vendors will handle wine distribution; bring identification for purchase. If weather is poor, check the museum’s updates and arrive with extra time for on-street parking or limited nearby lots. Expect a thoughtful, unhurried evening centered on art and song and quiet applause.
