One of the Lyme Art Association’s most festive art exhibitions and sales is their annual “Deck The Walls” holiday show, on view December 10, 2010 through January 9, 2011. More than 200 original works of art by Lyme Art Association member artists will be on display and priced to sell as holiday gifts. The opening reception on Friday, December 10 from 5-7pm is free to the public and will feature live piano music as well as a performance by local high school carolers. LAA Member Artists of all levels (Individual, Associate and Elected) are invited to enter this juried exhibition, which will hang in the Cooper/Ferry, South, and Cole Galleries. Receiving Day for artwork is Sunday, December 5 from 2 – 5pm. Anyone interested in submitting artwork may join the Lyme Art Association as a Member on Receiving Day in order to be eligible. Artwork by Newly Elected Artists will be featured in their own exhibition in the Goodman Gallery. LAA will once again support The Shoreline Soup Kitchen & Pantries by donating 10% of proceeds from opening night sales. This annual exhibition is a wonderful opportunity for Member Artists to exhibit their work and support an important, local hunger relief charity during the holidays. Artists and friends are asked to bring a canned good donation on opening night for collection by the Soup Kitchen. Image Shown: Barbara Lussier, Winter Shadows
