II. Funding Request Information 1. Proposal / Purpose This summer, the Lyme Art Association (LAA) is celebrating our gallery’s centennial with a series of special exhibitions, programs, and events, culminating in a daylong Centennial Celebration on August 7th. LAA’s commitment to supporting artists and inspiring a love of art is as strong as it was 100 years ago. Our goals for the Centennial Celebration are 1) to welcome families and art lovers of all ages to our grounds for a fun day of art and history, 2) to showcase artwork by inspired by the work of the Lyme Impressionists, and 3) to celebrate our artists past and present who have contributed so much to this region’s cultural heritage. LAA’s mission is to promote and cultivate an appreciation for representational fine arts by holding exhibitions, conducting educational programs, and preserving its historic gallery building. Exhibitions by the artists of the Lyme Art Colony began in 1902 at the public library in Old Lyme and were held every summer until 1921, when LAA’s present gallery opened. It was built adjacent to Miss Florence Griswold’s mansion, now the Florence Griswold Museum, where the Lyme Art Colony formed. Designed by architect Charles A. Platt, the building was hailed for its perfect lighting and harmony with its natural surroundings. The Centennial Celebration contributes directly to our mission to promote and cultivate appreciation for representational fine art, from the early work of the Lyme Art Colony artists to the contemporary art we exhibit today. The programs will encourage knowledge of art and history, pride in place, and make connections between the past and present role of the arts in our region. The celebration of the gallery’s centennial has already begun next door. The Florence Griswold Museum’s exhibit Lyme Art Association Centennial will be on display through May 23. We are grateful as always for our neighboring institution’s partnership. LAA’s celebrations will begin this summer with the exhibit A Century of Inspiration, which will be on view from July 30 - September 16. A Century of Inspiration is an exhibit dedicated to celebrating the 100th anniversary of our beloved gallery. We are asking artists to look back at the work of the original art colony for inspiration. Bucolic landscapes with cows or sheep, woodland interiors, gardens beside a cottage, mountain laurels in bloom, bridges, porch scenes, moonlit nocturnes, portraits and so much more would be appropriate subject matter for this show. LAA is not looking for copies of the originals or asking artists to work in a style that is not their own, but to be inspired by the subject matter, color, and spirit of the founding members of LAA. All participants will be eligible for the following prizes: 1st $500, 2nd $250 and 3rd $125. We will produce accompanying text for this exhibit placing works in their historical context. The entire exhibit will also be displayed online and highlights will be posted on social media. We are also inviting young people from Old Lyme and the surrounding region to create art for a community exhibition: Young Impressions. We will work with the Lyme Youth Services Bureau, the Lyme Art Academy, and the Old Lyme Arts Council to spread the word and encourage young artists to participate. As with A Century of Inspiration, young people will be encouraged to look back to the work of the original art colony for inspiration. We will provide handouts with examples of work by the early artists, stories of their lives and the founding of LAA, and places they might go for inspiration. Young people will be asked to submit their work by mid-July and we will have the exhibit ready by Centennial Day. The centennial celebration will culminate with Centennial Day on August 7th. This will be a fun-filled day of art and family activities. Our artists will be out in force in public places in Old Lyme, painting en plein air some of the same scenes once painted by the art colony artists. They will return to LAA at 4pm and put their work on the lawn. Visitors can come talk to the artists and all the works will be available for purchase. That afternoon we will also have a full schedule of family activities. These will include art for the littlest, art projects for all, an art scavenger hunt, and a craft to design hats and parasols in 1920s style. Interpreters in period costume will be on hand to talk about the lives of the artists. We will have dress up and photo opportunities. All of the young people who submitted work for the Young Impressions exhibit and their families will be invited to come visit and see their work on display. Concurrently, we will be hosting a recreated “Tea Day”. Historically, the artists held summer fundraisers during which they sold tea on the lawn in order to raise money for the gallery and exhibitions. LAA archives show Tea on the Lawn fundraisers throughout its history. We will be selling tickets for $25 each and providing tea, lemonade, sandwiches, and pastries. Guests will be encouraged (but not required!) to dress up for the event, all in the spirit of fun re-creation of a historic Old Lyme event. Our goal is to cultivate community spirit and appreciation for the long history of support for the arts in this region. Finally, in the evening we will host an event celebrating the gallery’s centennial and the amazing role our artists play today in making Old Lyme and the surrounding region such a special place for the arts. Tickets will be sold for $50 each. This will be a wonderful opportunity for artists and art lovers to socialize, converse, and be buoyed up by the spirit of support in our community. This memorable day, capping off our centennial celebrations, will reach wide swaths of not just the Old Lyme community, but the nearby communities in Middlesex County. Many of our artists, volunteers, visitors, and staff live in Middlesex County and we feel a deep sense of connection to the greater Connecticut River Valley. Of our members, who hail from all over, 23 percent live in Middlesex County. We have been developing relationships with institutions in Middlesex County such as the Connecticut River Museum, which is currently hosting an exhibit developed in collaboration with LAA called Hands on the Land: Art and the Environment in the Connecticut River Valley. Challenges that we may face in implementing the Centennial Celebration are primarily related to the pandemic. We are planning almost all of the activities for outdoors, where social distancing is easier and good ventilation is a given. We will continue to follow the State’s recommendations for face coverings and the number of people allowed at social gatherings. We will work with a caterer to ensure that food and beverages are properly and safely distributed and consumed. In the event of rain, all of the activities planned for August 7th will be postponed to August 8th. LAA’s Centennial Celebration will bring together artists, art lovers, and visitors from all over our region for a joyous series of programs that will spark creativity, inspire a love of art, and cultivate an appreciation for historical significance of the Lyme Art Colony in making LAA the thriving fine arts community it is today. 2. Assessment and Sustainability The goal of LAA’s Centennial Celebration is to support artists and inspire a love of art by 1) welcoming families and art lovers of all ages to our grounds for a fun day of art and history, 2) showcasing artwork by inspired by the work of the Lyme Impressionists, and 3) celebrating our artists past and present who have contributed so much to this region’s cultural heritage. These goals all contribute directly to our mission of promoting and cultivating an appreciation for representational fine arts. To evaluate our progress and impact, we will be looking both at direct and indirect indicators. Direct indicators will include the number of people visiting the gallery during the exhibit A Century of Inspiration, the number of young people who submit artwork for the community exhibit, the number of people who participate in the family activities on Centennial Day, and the number of people who purchase tickets for “Tea Day” and the evening event.

This exhibition delves into the agricultural heritage of Florence Griswold’s family estate, the Lyme region and beyond, to examine the complex history and character of New England’s farms. Paintings, drawings, and photographs by artists from the 1830s to the present day will trace the unique challenges of farming in New England. The Museum’s property is itself a case study of family farms in New England.

  • CHILDE HASSAM: Docent Notes
    CHILDE HASSAM: Docent Notes The Childe Hassam oil painting in the Mint‟s holdings –“The Stone Cottage, Old Lyme”- has always been a favorite of our museum visitors, at least in my experience. This short survey and biographical note is followed by a brief timeline and some authoritative quotes from art historians. Hassam (born in Boston in 1859, died at the summer home East Hampton NY 1935), is widely known as America‟s foremost Impressionist. He is often described as “the American Monet”, and his works were collected and admired during his life by major collectors such as Freer, Whitney, Frick, and White -–no struggling, starving, misunderstood artist he! “Stone Cottage, Old Lyme” is obviously painted outdoors (en plein air to use the French term), with a very pleasing impressionist palette – pastel and deep blues, greens, and yellows. Note that he used no blacks or greys. The sun is to the left and behind the cottage, casting a chimney shadow on the roof and shadow on the ground. While there is a wisp of smoke from the chimney, the people seem warmed by the sun. The adult walker is effectively silhouetted against the tree trunks. Hassam used the quick, short brushstrokes of the impressionist –though he decried this term, and never acknowledged being influenced by the French Impressionists--to give the characteristic vibrant, shimmering light effect. Unlike the French, his works always had form and did not disintegrate into simply “vibrations of light”. The strokes seem loose but controlled. Note the different qualities of brushwork: quick vigorous horizontals for the roof, choppy impasto for the foliage, wide diagonals for the sky.

  • Florence Griswold Museum Quick Facts
    Florence Griswold Museum Quick Facts ♦ Florence Griswold was born on Christmas day in 1850. ♦ After a financial misfortune the Griswolds turned their late Georgian style mansion into a school and eventually into a boardinghouse. ♦ In 1899 Henry Ward Ranger, an artist from New York, came to board for the summer. The following summer brought more artists. ♦ With the arrival of Child Hassam in 1903, the focus of the art colony shifted from Tonalism to Impressionism and became known as the most famous Impressionist colony in America – the American Giverny. ♦ Willard Metcalf, Matilda Browne, and William Chadwick helped transform the Griswold House into the home of the Lyme Art Colony. Members of the Colony, preferring to work from nature, spent the day in the presence of their subjects, often painting "en plein air" -- in the open air. Canvases were sun-soaked or moonlit depending on the weather. ♦ One of the few exceptions to the artists-only rule, Woodrow Wilson came to stay at the Griswold House in 1905 with his wife and daughters. They visited again in 1908, 1909, and 1910. ♦ In 1907 the Congregational Church at Old Lyme, made famous by Lyme artists, burned to the ground. Three years later, with the help of artists and the community, the church was rebuilt. ♦ Reserved largely for professional artists, a stay with Miss Florence was so esteemed that the house was irreverently nicknamed the “Holy House” by the many art students who arrived each summer and took lodgings in private homes nearby. ♦ The practice of painting on the walls and doors of the Griswold House, begun by Ranger, was carried out over a number of years by more than thirty of the colony’s artists.

  • Lights! Cameras! Action! Creating a Drama About the Lyme Art Colony
    Lights! Cameras! Action! Creating a Drama About the Lyme Art Colony Grades: 5-8 Time: over the course of a week Grouping: whole class, small groups, individual Materials: access to Museum’s website, writing paper, craft supplies, video recorder, blank DVDs Description The Lyme Art Colony was a group of artists who were drawn to Old Lyme, Connecticut, as early as 1900. They stayed at the Griswold boardinghouse that was owned and operated by Florence Griswold. The house was filled with activity from May to October each year when the artists were coming and going. However, the artists were not the only people connected to the house. The house was occupied by Miss Florence’s domestic help (to clean, cook, and garden), the wives of the artists, the female art students (who were not allowed to stay at the house), the tourists, and on occasion, a VIP like President Woodrow Wilson. This cast of characters came together and helped shape an interesting chapter in Connecticut art and history. This lesson introduces students to the personalities of the Lyme Art Colony by having them write and perform a short scene incorporating the various characters who were a part of the Griswold boardinghouse. Students use the Museum’s on-line resources to gather information (both in words and pictures) about the people of the art colony before creating a scene that incorporates the material. A series of scenarios are included below, however, some students may wish to develop their own. Objectives • To learn about the personalities associated with the Lyme Art
