Lyme Art Association (LAA) is proud to announce New England Landscape, its annual juried exhibition celebrating the rich and varied charm of the East Coast, where nature's artistry unfolds in breathtaking beauty. This gorgeous art show includes rolling hills covered with trees, lonely roads, cow-dotted farmlands, historical homes, and bustling townscapes, all done in various mediums that visually explore people’s connection to this extraordinary and gorgeous terrain.
