OLD LYME—More than 100 patrons of the arts converged last Saturday at the Lyme Art Association’s signature spring Sea & Sky Soirée fundraiser.

Elsbeth Dowd, the association’s Executive Director, said she was delighted by the turnout, telling LymeLine by email, “It was wonderful to see new faces and old friends all coming together to help raise funds for the Lyme Art Association so that we can continue providing high-quality exhibitions and educational programs for our whole community.”
The event featured a raffle of themed baskets featuring unique items and experiences …

… live jazz throughout the evening …

… and delicious hors d’oeuvres from Flanders Fish Market.

There was a silent auction showcasing works of art …

… and plenty of time to catch up with old friends and make new ones.

All in all, it was a great evening for an important cause.
