OLD LYME — Studio 80 + Sculpture Grounds located at 80 Lyme St. in Old Lyme, is accepting submissions until this Friday, May 14, for their Summer Sculpture Showcase 2021, which will be on display from June 19, through Oct. 30, 2021.
The 2021 Summer Sculpture Showcase offers a unique opportunity for established sculptors to exhibit their work in locations tailored to accentuating art. This year Studio 80 has announced the expansion of their Showcase in a new collaboration with the neighboring Lyme Academy of Fine Arts.
Both Studio 80 + Sculpture Grounds and the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts attract artists from a broad range of artistic communities, which will provide for an exhibition of diverse sculptures.
Keeping in line with the Academy’s mission to educate artists through the traditional forms of representational and figurative art and along with the Sculpture Grounds’ mission to nurture interactions between art, nature and community, Studio 80 + Sculpture Grounds is excited to present an exhibition that nurtures relationships within the artistic community both institutions mutually serve.
Studio 80 + Sculpture Grounds and Lyme Academy of Fine Arts are thoroughly invested in the vibrant Old Lyme arts scene and anticipate this exhibition will attract art-loving visitors from near and far. Both institutions are committed to the important public mission to enrich the cultural life of the region for the education, enrichment, and enjoyment of our community.
Studio 80 + Sculpture Grounds is a vibrant community environment dedicated to arts education and appreciation on the Connecticut shoreline. Our mission is to create a bond between art, nature & community by inspiring and promoting participation in the arts.
