103rd Elected Artists Exhibition
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.
Taking Flight Show
Taking Flight considers the beauty of avian life and the exhilaration of flight. Through various art mediums and styles, LAA’s member artists epitomized avian ecology and explored our human fascination with flight in this fascinating show. With this exhibition, we hope to encourage a commitment to bird preservation for future generations, and to inspire a deeper connection to avian ecology and conservation.

PARTNER WALL PROGRAM
Lyme Art Association is proud to have the Roger Tory Peterson Estuary Center as our Featured Organization in our Partner Wall Program during the run of the 103rd Elected Artists Show. During the show’s run, LAA will feature an artwork by one of our members with all of LAA’s portion of the net sales (after artist’s share) for the work going to benefit the Roger Tory Peterson Estuary Center. The Roger Tory Peterson Estuary Center helps to protect and educate the public about the Roger Tory Peterson Natural Area Preservation, (formerly Great Island Wildlife Management Area), which consists of an extensive system of salt and brackish meadow marshes, and located at the mouth of the Connecticut River, the only principal river in the northeastern United States without a major port or urban area there. In addition, the RTP Estuary Center educates the public about the birds who habitat there.
LAA is proud feature the Roger Tory Peterson Estuary Center and support their vision of education and preserving nature and birds.
