Four new exhibitions, each with a different theme, will be on view in the Lyme Art Association’s beautiful historic galleries from February 28 through April 12.  Nocturne: Images of the Night; Holding Still: An Exhibition of Still Life Work; Pulled and Pressed: Fine Contemporary Prints; A Contemporary Look: Evolving the Representational Tradition run concurrently. An opening reception for all four early spring exhibitions will be held on Friday, March 7 from 5pm to 7pm.

Nocturne features paintings created from dusk ‘till dawn. Holding Still showcases still life paintings by member artists. Pulled and Pressed promises an exciting collection of hand-pulled works showcasing a variety of printmaking techniques by member and invited artists, with the Stonington Printmakers Society as invited special guests. A Contemporary Look is an invitational exhibition of abstracted, yet still representational, work by regional artists.

Nocturne, A Contemporary Look, and Holding Still will be juried by Amy Kurtz Lansing, Curator of the Florence Griswold Museum.  Jane and Derek Allison of Allison Gallery, members of the International Fine Print Dealers Association, will serve as jurors for Pulled and Pressed.

The gala reception for all four exhibitions is free to the public, and will be held on Friday, March 7th from 5pm to 7pm at the LAA, 90 Lyme Street, Old Lyme, Connecticut.
