The Lyme Art Association Presents Deck the Walls and Inside Story

The Lyme Art Association (LAA) is pleased to celebrate the end of the year with the festive holiday favorite, Deck the Walls. With colder nights and shorter days, this exhibition warms hearts and uplifts spirits by featuring artwork that brings smiles to faces through fun themes, vibrant colors, and playful mediums all while remaining true to LAA’s representational roots. Additionally, 3-D art by the Society of Connecticut Sculptors shall be displayed throughout the gallery, and Faripour Forouhar is having a solo show in LAA’s Mile Brook Gallery. Plus, as a special treat for the season, live music will be performed on select weekends during the show’s run.

On view at the same time is a new exhibit, Inside Story. This show invites viewers into the quiet drama of interior spaces, i.e., the rooms, corners, and thresholds that shape our daily lives. More than simple settings, interiors hold memory, emotion, and narrative. Interiors are places of solitude, reflection, work, ritual, and imagination. This exhibition seeks to explore this world within the walls of real, invented, intimate, expansive, orderly, or chaotic places, and visitors will discover art that evokes a mood, tells a story, and captures the personal, poetic, and psychological spirit of an inner space.

All shows are on view November 14 – January 1. The public is warmly invited to the opening reception on Sunday, November 23 from 2–4 pm.
