The Lyme Art Association opens the Holiday Season with a trio of new exhibitions
The Lyme Art Association hosts three new shows for this year’s holiday season! In the festive exhibition Deck the Walls, visitors will discover an array of fine art in various themes, sizes and mediums in this uplifting show that returns each year during the holidays, just in time for gift giving. The juror for Deck the Walls will be Alonzo Clarke, a New Hampshire based artist who is a Signature Member of the New England Watercolor Society and has exhibited widely. Clarke is best known for his light-filled watercolors depicting scenes from his travels and his observations of daily life.
Artists explore our relationship to the environment in Our Fragile Planet, considering both the beauty and fragility of the world around us. This show draws artists and visitors into conversations on environmental preservation, sustainable living, and the responsibility we all share in protecting our habitat. The juror for Our Fragile Planet will be Mark Shasha, award-winning artist, author and educator. Shasha is not only a renowned artist who focuses on light and texture in the natural world, but also a children’s book author, including the beloved Night of the Moonjellies.
Finally, artist Catherine Puccio’s solo show All Things Great and Small will feature her love for animals and her pursuit of truth in nature. Puccio, who won first place in last January’s Associate Artist show at the Lyme Art Association, is now being honored for her award through this special exhibition.
All three shows are on view at the Lyme Art Association from November 17 – December 31, 2023. Members of the public are invited to come and meet the artists at the opening reception on Sunday, November 19 from 2 – 4 pm, with a pre-reception art talk with Mark Shasha at 1:30 pm.
Deck the Walls and Our Fragile Planet are generously sponsored by Enterprise Construction and Point One Architects. Artist awards are sponsored by the Parthenon Diner and Caliber Computing.
