Lyme Art Association presents “New England Landscape” starting Sept. 13.

This annual exhibition celebrates the rich and varied beauty of the East Coast. From autumn leaves to summer trees, from lonely roads to rolling hills, LAA member artists visually explored their connection to this land.

Running concurrently is Connecticut Pastel Society’s “Renaissance in Pastel”. The Connecticut Pastel Society is a fine arts organization that draws awareness to pastel as an artistic medium, and will have their annual national show celebrating the beauty of pastel in LAA’s gallery.

“New England Landscape” and Connecticut Pastel Society’s “Renaissance in Pastel” are on view through Oct. 24. The opening reception is 5-7 p.m. Sept. 20.

Also, on view from Oct. 16-24 is the Plein Air Art Group Show. Throughout the spring and summer, LAA’s Plein Air Painting Group painted in and around Old Lyme, and their pieces capturing the town’s beauty will be on display in this show.

The Lyme Art Association is located at 90 Lyme Street, Old Lyme, and is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Wed.-Sun. and by appointment. Admission is free, with contributions appreciated. For more information, visit www.lymeartassociation.org or call (860) 434-7802.
