Opportunities for sponsorship















Join us in bringing art to life at the Lyme Art Association Support a thriving arts community in Old Lyme, further your commitment to the community, and inspire a love of art!
We seek sponsors for a variety of events and programs each year, including major exhibitions, artist awards, and the annual gala fundraiser Palate to Palette. Sponsorship provides an excellent opportunity to increase your exposure within the community and enhance your customer base. We can tailor sponsorship levels to your marketing goals and budget. We provide recognition and promotion through email campaigns, on-site signage, social media, Ink Magazine and other publications, and opportunities for face-to-face interaction with potential customers at well-attended opening receptions. Each of our themed and juried exhibitions features fine art by well-known artists. At least seven exhibitions are produced each year, including the annual marine show, landscape show, and Elected Artist show. The gallery is open to the public free of charge, year-round, five days a week. Your help will support the artists of today and inspire the artists of tomorrow. Target Audience: Our audience comes from towns along the Connecticut River Valley and Shoreline, including Old Lyme, Lyme, Old Saybrook, Westbrook, Essex, Chester, Madison, East Lyme, Waterford, Mystic, Stonington, and beyond. Guests to the gallery include year-round residents, second-home owners, and summer visitors who are attracted to this town’s beautiful shoreline, historic character, and artistic heritage. Visitors come from throughout Connecticut, New York, New England, and beyond.
