Lyme Art Association’s First Impressions Exhibition is a juried exhibition of the Association’s Associate Artist members, accomplished artists who have been successfully exhibiting in selective shows. This exhibit will include a variety of media and themes: landscape, portrait, and still life paintings, as well as sculpture. In addition, the three new Elected Artists who were inducted in October 2021 will present their work in Congratulations in the Goodman gallery. This year Sara Drought Nebel, Rick Daskam, and Matthew Schwager joined the ranks of Lyme Art Association Elected Artists. Both exhibits run from January 14 through February 24.

 
"The Annual Associate Artists Exhibition highlights the range, creativity, and excellence of our Associate Artist members. This exhibition includes a variety of subjects, media, and styles: paintings or sculptures that capture the range of human emotion, the beauty and grandeur of the Connecticut landscape, or the personal objects and surroundings of everyday life," states Jocelyn Zallinger, LAA’s Gallery Manager. 

“The Congratulations show in the Goodman Gallery promises to be impressive; each new class of Elected Artists brings some new, unique perspectives and wonderful talent, and this year is no exception.” 

Both exhibitions are on view in the 100-year-old skylit galleries of the Lyme Art Association at 90 Lyme Street, Old Lyme, Connecticut. Hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 10 am – 5 pm, and by appointment.
