Founded in 1976,
the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts is an intimate artistic community
that attracts people who are most fully engaged when they are creating
art, and who also want to be around people who love to draw, paint,
and sculpt. Student life at this unique college of art centers around
work in the studio, as well as work out in the natural surroundings
of our community which facilitates an academy based teaching philosophy
that is unique amongst art colleges.
Location: The college, located on 47 acres overlooking
the Lieutenant River, and in close proximity to the Long Island
Sound, is in the historic and artistic community of Old Lyme, Connecticut.
The luminosity of the Lyme landscape first attracted artists because
of its resemblance to the light and landscape painted by the Impressionists
in France, and it soon became a center for the American Impressionists.
It encompasses one of the most beautiful, safe, and unspoiled areas
in America, and is only two hours away from New York or Boston.
