New England Landscape
Lyme Art Association Elected Artists are our most accomplished artists – the best of the best, and the torch-bearers for the American representational tradition. They follow directly in the footsteps of the Lyme Art Colony artists who hung their Tonalist and Impressionist works on the walls of the Old Lyme library in 1902.
The 103rd exhibition continues this tradition of celebrating the artistry of our Elected Artists, who have submitted their best work for this annual retrospective of art that showcases the vast variety of styles and mediums our Elected Artists.
Connecticut Pastel Society – Renaissance in Pastel
Established in the early 1990s by a group of pastel artists headed by Roy Schmid, the Connecticut Pastel Society (CPS) is a statewide fine arts organization with national outreach, and its programs are funded and run by artists and their affiliates intent on increasing awareness of pastel as a fine art medium.
The Connecticut Pastel Society’s 31st Annual National Juried Exhibition, Renaissance in Pastel, showcases some of the best in contemporary pastel art in the nation.
New England Landscape is supported by Guilford Savings Bank in partnership with the Community Foundation of Middlesex County.
