Ways To Give

Join us in supporting the Lyme Art Association, a thriving arts community in Old Lyme founded more than 100 years ago by artists of the Lyme Art Colony. We are deeply appreciative of the support from our members, and there are many other ways to give. The Annual Fund, Sponsorship, Matching Gifts, Gifts in Tribute, and Planned Giving are all wonderful ways to ensure a strong future for our thriving arts community. Your support helps support the artists of today and inspire the artists of tomorrow!

[blockquote quote_author=”Laurie Pavlos, Executive Director” textalign=”pull-left”]

With all the talk about mindfulness, yet all our gazes on screens, representational art is a prompt to take in what is around us – everyday objects, scenes we drive by daily, faces in the crowd. The more you look at art, the more you are reminded by the artist’s vision of the amazing complexity and beauty in our everyday life
