A Century of Creativity: Connecticut Art from the New Haven Paint & Clay Club
January 31 – May 10, 2020
Lyman Allyn Art Museum, 625 Williams Street, New London, CT 06320 USA
The art in this exhibition explores place and regional identity. Traditional landscapes depict the land, water, people and locales that help shape our conception of the Northeast. Other works by Connecticut artists portray abstracted landscapes and imaginative or distant places. Drawn from the collection of the New Haven Paint & Clay Club and augmented with works by Club members from the Lyman Allyn and the New Haven Museum, this retrospective celebrates the history and continuing legacy of the Club in its efforts to support and encourage the visual arts.
