Classes
Lyme Art Association’s weekly instructional classes generally meet for three hours at a time on a weekly basis for 4 – 8 weeks. With capacity limits kept small between 10 – 12 people, there are opportunities for more personalized instruction due to our low student-teacher ratio.
LAA offers in person, online and monitored classes.

Monitored Classes
Come join one of our friendly monitored painting groups. Paint or draw from a live model in a relaxed atmosphere. These figure painting groups are for artists who can work without formal instruction, in the medium of their choice, and who can benefit working from a live model.
