Four new exhibitions, each with a different theme, will be on view in the Lyme Art Association’s beautiful historic galleries from March 6 through April 17.  A Contemporary Look, Pulled and Pressed, Industrious America, Holding Still run concurrently.  An opening reception for all four early spring exhibitions will be held on Friday, March 13 from 5pm to 7pm.

Pulled and Pressed promises an exciting collection of hand-made prints, with the Center for Contemporary Printmaking as invited guests; Industrious America celebrates American industry and features imagery of the man-made landscape; Holding Still features still life artwork, including trompe l’oeil; and A Contemporary Look is an exhibition of new works that evolve the representational art tradition.

“The Exhibition in Four Acts is one of our most dynamic and exciting exhibitions, bringing together four distinct types of representational art.  Visitors to our spacious, sun-lit galleries will move from the striking realism of still life paintings in Holding Still to the evocative art in Contemporary Look, featuring works that evolve the representational art tradition,” states Katherine Simmons, President of LAA’s Board of Directors.  “Pulled and Pressed features the creativity and precision of fine art, hand-made prints, and Industrious America celebrates the vitality of working life.”

The reception for all four exhibitions is free to the public, and will be held on Friday, March 13 from 5pm to 7pm at the LAA, 90 Lyme Street, Old Lyme, Connecticut.
