With a faculty of internationally-recognized artists and scholars, we offer a comprehensive, multi-year program of disciplined study, integrating rigorous studio instruction in drawing and painting with anatomy, sculpture, and twenty-first century approaches to the histories of art. Our geography, located along the Connecticut River and in the heart of the celebrated Lyme Art Colony, and between the metropolitan centers of Boston and New York, is imbued with history, and remains an active site of progressive artists’ congregation and camaraderie.

The Chauncey Stillman Gallery at Lyme Academy hosts a regular and rotating public art exhibition schedule that features both historic works and the best of contemporary figurative art on view to the public at no charge.

De Gerenday’s Fine Art Materials & Curiosities, our campus art store, offers the finest art materials hand selected by our renowned faculty of professional artists and exquisite giftable objects from around the world.
