Exhibitions
Named in honor of the great New York art collector, philanthropist, and Lyme Academy patron, the Chauncey Stillman Gallery opened its doors at the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts in 2003. Its regular and rotating exhibition schedule features both historic works and the best of contemporary figurative art, continuing the tradition of public art displays in and around the Old Lyme campus.
Upcoming Exhibition
The Lyme Academy of Fine Arts is proud to present The New Bronze Age: Masterpieces of 19th- and Early 20th-Century Sculpture from the Karlheinz Kronberger Collection.
Sill House Gallery at the Lyme Academy
One of three iconic buildings on Lyme Street designed by Samuel Belcher, the John Sill House (1817) was home to a wealthy New England merchant. Its Federalist-style facade, with its symmetry, classical detail, and center hall plan, reflects the prevailing trends in American architecture of this period. Belcher’s striking workmanship can also be seen at the nearby Florence Griswold House, the center of the Lyme Art Colony and the Home of American Impressionism.
One Weekend Only! March 28 – 29, 2026
The Lyme Academy of Fine Arts is proud to present Terra Anima, a wide range of terracotta sculptures created by students of the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts.
