The Lyme Art Association (LAA) is the place to be this June for its vibrant exhibitions, great events, and marvelous workshops.  From June 7-July 18, LAA showcases three wonderful art shows. Featuring the work of LAA’s member artists, Expanding Visions includes everything from hyper-realism to abstract works in a show that is sure to inspire. Running concurrently is the Hudson Valley Art Association’s 91st Annual Juried Exhibition. Opening reception is June 15 from 5-7 pm. Finally, celebrate the creativity of young artists with Hope Is the Thing with Feathers, a show that is inspired by Emily Dickinson’s poem. 

Experience fun at LAA’s summer events. Golfers of all levels are invited to Swing for Art on June 3rd at the Old Lyme Country Club to benefit the Lyme Art Association. This fun event includes an afternoon of golf followed by a celebratory cocktail party. On June 22, LAA members participate in Paint the Town, a day of plein air painting around Lyme and Old Lyme. Afterwards, the community is invited to LAA for a cocktail party and art sale.
