Lyme Art Association is pleased to present two exhibitions, Ship to Shore and Renaissance in Pastel. Celebrating all aspects of sea and shoreline life, Ship to Shore is a members exhibition which features a broad range of styles and mediums including paintings, drawings and sculptures. The exhibit is juried by Anthony Tomaselli. Tomaselli is a painter based in Providence, RI. He apprenticed with Gene Tonoff and Joseph Rotundo and is represented by a variety of galleries. 

Gallery manager Paul Michael says, “Our coastal communities are a vital part of New England life. This show acts as a survey of contemporary maritime artwork, celebrating the seas that connect us.”
