Yin and Yang Through April 17, 2020 Realism/Abstraction
Our current exhibition presents both highly realistic and abstract work from the Lyme Art Association’s member artists. It was juried by Susan Fisher, the Executive Director of the Mystic Museum of Art. We are proud to present this show online, as the gallery is temporarily closed due to ongoing public health concerns.

Each year we present one show that allows our members, whose work is generally strongly representational, to show us what else they have been doing in their studios. These are creative people – unlikely to allow themselves to get stuck in a rut, and it’s wonderful to see something entirely different, alongside the realistic work. We hope you enjoy this exciting show - virtually! - and visit again when the gallery reopens.
Take a virtual tour in this video walk through of the exhibition, filmed by Jack Montmeat.
