OLD LYME —This spring, the Lyme Art Association (LAA) presents three new shows: Ship to Shore: A Marine Show; art by the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club;and John Caggiano’s solo show, Then & Now.
The LAA will also welcome spring on May 3 at the Sea & Sky Soiree, an evening of fine art, music, and entertainment.
The LAA members’ show Ship to Shore is a favorite of gallery guests. This marine show, juried by Karen Blackwood, celebrates all aspects of the sea and shore with a wide array of paintings and sculptures.
The LAA also welcomes back the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club (CLWAC) for its associate and members show. Founded in 1896, CLWAC is a national organization that showcases the works of professional women artists.
Finally, noted artist John Caggiano presents “Then & Now”, a solo show of his colorful Impressionistic-realism landscape paintings.
During Ship to Shore, LAA is proud to highlight ‘Save the Sound’ in its Partner Wall Program. The non-profit ‘Save the Sound’ works to save endangered lands, protect Long Island Sound and its rivers, and restore ecosystems. Proceeds from a sale of featured art will benefit ‘Save the Sound’.
All three shows run from April 19 -May19.
Ship to Shore is made possible by the generous support of Presenting Sponsor Essex Savings Bank.
On Friday, May 3, LAA welcomes spring with the Sea & Sky Soiree, a fun-filled cocktail party to celebrate the beauty of Old Lyme’s “American Giverny”. This special evening will feature hors d’oeuvres by Flanders Fish Market, “Dueling Painters” Howard Park & Lisa Miceli, live jazz by the JHunter Group, and a silent auction of beautiful art, exceptional items, and unique experiences.
All proceeds will benefit LAA’s educational programs and special projects. A special thank you to Gold Level event sponsor Hamilton Point Investments.
