‘Fishing boat’ by Chris Zhang is one of the signature paintings in the current LAA exhibition.

The Lyme Art Association (LAA) presents the 94th Annual Elected Artist Exhibition, on view from April 24 through June 5.  All four galleries will display work by Elected Artists, who are the LAA’s most accomplished artists.

‘Working in the Studio’ by Bill Hanson.

These torch-bearers for the representational tradition follow directly in the footsteps of the Lyme Art Colony artists who hung their tonalist and impressionist works in this historic building.  This is a great opportunity to see, and perhaps take home, work by Elected Artists, showcased in the LAA’s sky-lit galleries. 

The LAA will hold an opening reception and a gallery dedication in memory of Foster Caddell, Elected Artist, on Friday, May 1, from 6 to 8 p.m.

The LAA was founded in 1914 by the American Impressionists and continues the tradition of exhibiting and selling representational artwork by its members and invited artists, as well as offering art instruction and lectures to the community. The LAA is located at 90 Lyme Street, Old Lyme, CT, in a building designed by Charles Adams Platt and located within an historic district.

Admission is free with contributions appreciated.  Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday 1 to 5 p.m.
