Jocelyn Zallinger, the Lyme Art Association’s Gallery Manager says, “This is a fantastic partnership between two local non-profit organizations, each with a connection to Lyme’s remarkable landscape. The Lyme Land Conservation Trust’s commitment to preserving Lyme’s open space makes the Paint Out in beautiful Hamburg possible, and the ability of the Lyme Art Association’s artists to capture the landscape’s natural beauty through plein air paintings will make this a spectacular exhibition.
