The Lyme Art Association (LAA) will host its inaugural Swing for Art Pickleball Tournament on Sunday, June 7, 2026, at Mystic Indoor Sports, bringing together players for a lively day of competition in support of the arts.
This new fundraising event invites advanced beginner through advanced players to participate in a fun and spirited tournament while supporting one of the region’s most historic arts organizations. The event will feature organized match play across skill levels, along with raffle prizes and opportunities for community engagement.
“Pickleball is such a dynamic and social sport, and we’re excited to create an event that brings people together while supporting the arts,” said Elsbeth Dowd, Executive Director of the Lyme Art Association. “Swing for Art is a wonderful way for players to connect, compete, and contribute to something meaningful.”
All proceeds from the tournament will benefit the Lyme Art Association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to exhibiting and preserving representational art and providing arts education to the community. Funds raised will support exhibitions, educational programming, and the continued vitality of LAA’s historic building in Old Lyme.
Registration is now open, and space is limited.
