Ship to Shore: A Marine Show
The Lyme Art Association (LAA) presents from April 17 – May 29, Ship to Shore: A Marine Show, juried by acclaimed artist William P. Duffy. Open exclusively to LAA members, this exhibition celebrates the marine genre, featuring a wide range of subjects from tranquil harbors to turbulent seas. Running concurrently are A Closer Look, a members show, and a solo show of Jacqueline Stella’s work, called There Is Power.
From calm waters to crashing waves, open seas to secluded marshes, the annual exhibition of Ship to Shore celebrates the marine genre by encompassing a broad range of subjects related to the sea and its surrounding environment. This exhibition displays a variety of artistic styles and mediums of representational artwork that reflect nautical and marine themes.
Sometimes the smallest details reveal the greatest depth, and in A Closer Look, the art in this show focuses on magnification or close-up views of objects, on intimate subject matter, or on a slowed way of seeing the world. This exhibition celebrates observation, detail, and discovery, with artworks that ask viewers to pause and notice what might otherwise go unseen.
The Ship to Shore’s opening reception takes place on Sunday, April 19 from 2 – 4 pm, during which attendees will hear lively sea chanteys and songs of the sea while perusing the art.
The three exhibitions are on view from April 17 - May 29 at the Lyme Art Association, located at 90 Lyme Street in Old Lyme, CT. The gallery is open to the public Tuesday - Sunday, 10 am – 5 pm. Admission is free, and all are welcome.
