Prospectus Excerpt: Red Hot celebrates the power, passion and moving nature of the color red. Long associated with love, instense emotion, heat, and revolution, red holds an emotional and cultural charge that artists have used to command attention and make bold statements. This exhibition invited member artists to explore the many shades of red, from crimson to scarlet, ruby to rust. Whether used subtly or in full saturation, see works that embrace red as a central element of expression.

Incorporated in 1914, the Lyme Art Association continues the tradition of presenting fine art exhibitions and sales by its artist members in the historic gallery. Exhibitions of Lyme Impressionist paintings began in 1902 and were held every summer in the Phoebe Griffin Noyes Library in Old Lyme until August 6, 1921, when the present Lyme Art Association gallery opened.
