Deck the Walls
The Lyme Art Association is pleased to celebrate the end of the year with the festive holiday favorite, Deck the Walls. With colder nights and shorter days, this exhibition warms hearts and uplifts spirits by featuring artwork that brings smiles to faces through fun themes, vibrant colors, and playful mediums all while remaining true to LAA’s representational roots. Additionally, 3-D art by the Society of Connecticut Sculptors shall be displayed throughout the gallery, and Faripour Forouhar is having a solo show, called A Life’s Journey Through Paintings, in LAA’s Mile Brook Gallery. Plus, as a special treat for the season, live music will be performed on select weekends during the show’s run.
Inside Story
On view at the same time as Deck the Walls is a new exhibit, Inside Story. This show invites viewers into the quiet drama of interior spaces, i.e., the rooms, corners, and thresholds that shape our daily lives. More than simple settings, interiors hold memory, emotion, and narrative. Interiors are places of solitude, reflection, work, ritual, and imagination. This exhibition seeks to explore this world within the walls of real, invented, intimate, expansive, orderly, or chaotic places, and visitors will discover art that evokes a mood, tells a story, and captures the personal, poetic, and psychological spirit of an inner space.
New England Landscape is proudly supported by Ascend Bank in partnership with the Community Foundation of Middlesex County.

Alzheimer’s Association Connecticut Chapter
During the run of the New England Landscape, the portion of LAA’s sales from the sale of selected artwork will be donated to Alzheimer’s Association Connecticut Chapter.
In Connecticut, more than 76,000 people are living with Alzheimer’s, and nearly double that amount of people are providing their unpaid care. The Alzheimer’s Association Connecticut Chapter is here to help by providing support services, care options, and education for families facing the disease, for caregivers and for professionals. They offer communities across the state a 24/7 multi-lingual Helpline, Family Training Seminars, Care Consultation, First Responder Training, Support Groups and Educational Programs. The chapter has influenced public policy changes and has provided support for dementia research. Whether it’s offering support to anyone facing Alzheimer’s, advocating for the needs and rights of those facing dementia, driving risk reduction and early detection, maximizing quality care and support, or advancing critical research, the CT chapter works hard towards finding methods of treatment, prevention, and ultimately, a cure.
