In 1921, after years of discussion, planning, and fundraising, the early members of the Lyme Art Association achieved their goal; a purpose-built gallery to display their art. This year we will be marking this milestone with special exhibitions, events, and activities.
A Century of Inspiration, our summer exhibition, is an all-member show that will explore the connections between our artists and the original Lyme Art Colony artists who formed the Lyme Art Association. Explore this theme and see how your work can fit in!
The Lyme Art Association celebrates the 100th anniversary of the gallery in 2021. You can learn about the Association's rich history and connection with the Lyme Art Colony and Florence Griswold by exploring the fabulous exhibit at the Florence Griswold Museum celebrating our centennial. The Museum has assembled works from the artists who presented work in the 1921 inaugural exhibit in the gallery and presented them with informational signage that touches on the connection and importance of each artist to the original colony and to the new Lyme Art Association. You can visit the exhibit at the Florence Griswold Museum in person through May 23rd or virtually by touring the show online.

Stapleton Kearns, Hillside, oil
Noted artist Stapleton Kearns will give an oil painting demonstration on May 18th, 3:00 PM at the Lyme Art Association. A former president of the Rockport Art Association and member of the Guild of Boston Artists, Stapleton Kearns has been a full-time painter for fifty years. He will explain the materials and a little about the logic of creating traditional landscapes while making a painting in front of the audience. While learning artists will find this useful, Stapleton is entertaining enough that non-artist should enjoy the show as well. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Lyme Art Association and The Hudson Valley Art Association's 88th Annual Juried Exhibition.
