The Cooley Gallery in Old Lyme hosts a reception this evening, Thursday, Nov. 16, from 5 to 7 p.m. to celebrate the opening of their traditional Holiday Sale featuring historic and contemporary art in all sizes. All are welcome at this great gathering to launch the holiday season
In The Holiday Sale at The Cooley Gallery, newly discovered paintings by Old Lyme colony artists Harry Hoffman, William S.
