Lymes Creative Arts is produced and funded by the Sustainable Committees of Lyme and Old Lyme, in collaboration with the Lymes’ Youth Services Bureau (LYSB). Additional support is provided by the public libraries of both towns.
The program’s core mission is to eliminate barriers to participation by addressing challenges such as location access, scheduling conflicts, and financial hardship.
Participation fees are kept minimal, with scholarships available, and sessions are held at convenient locations throughout Lyme and Old Lyme at various times during the summer.
