Gallery Rental

The Lyme Art Association’s historic building and galleries offer a superb setting for wedding ceremonies, memorials, birthday parties, showers, fundraisers, business meetings, conferences, and other special events. Our space is especially appropriate for small gatherings. 

Four beautiful galleries and conveniently located off I-95, Exit 70 in historic Old Lyme, Connecticut, the Lyme Art Association offers a wonderful space for your next special event.

“Our Board of Directors were extremely complimentary of everything and loved the artwork.  It was a beautiful location and your recommendations for caterer, gifts, and pianist were excellent.  I would not hesitate to recommend them or the Lyme Art Association to anyone who asked.”
