OLD LYME—There is a treat in store for art lovers this summer as the Lyme Art Association (LAA) in Old Lyme, Conn., showcases three new exhibitions.
The 103rd Elected Artists Exhibition features the work of LAA’s Elected Artists—their most accomplished artists, who serve as torchbearers of the American representational tradition. This annual exhibition highlights a wide range of artwork, continuing the annual tradition of celebrating the best work of these artists.
Running alongside is Taking Flight, a show that considers the beauty of avian life and the exhilaration of flight. Through various mediums and artistic styles, LAA member artists capture the essence of avian ecology and the human fascination with flight, while inspiring a deeper connection with conservation.
In addition, LAA has welcomed the New Haven Paint & Clay Club back to its galleries for their 2024 Selected Members Exhibition, a juried show that features the work of five notable artists: Diane Chandler, Robert Jacoby, Anne Johann, Gus Moran, and Greg Shea.
All three exhibitions are on view through Sept. 5. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free, with donations appreciated.
The shows are generously sponsored by the Lyme Art Association’s Supporting Sponsor, Chelsea Groton Bank.
Founded in 1914 by the American Impressionists, the LAA continues the tradition of exhibiting and selling representational artwork, while also offering art instruction and lectures to the community. Lyme Art Association is located at 90 Lyme St. in Old Lyme, CT, within the national historic district.
