Keep your eyes on the hand . . . the artist’s hand that is!  On Saturday, Nov. 9, from 5:30 to 8 p.m., Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts presents, ‘Aha! Eyes on the Hand, which offers you a chance to witness the creative journey imagination takes as it to travels from the artist’s eye to the hand that holds artistic tools.   This behind-the-scenes studio stroll features informal demonstrations in painting, sculpture, and printmaking, a silent auction of selected artwork and art classes, as well as opportunities for casual conversations with faculty, alumni and student artists.  This interactive evening includes a light seasonal supper and full bar.

Want to try your own hand at painting or sculpting? Come earlier at 4 p.m. for a special art class with professional artists, faculty and alumni before joining the studio stroll at 5:30 p.m.

An enjoyable, entertaining, and educational evening is promised.  Tickets are $50 per person, ($25 additional for the special art class), $500 at the Patron level (includes two tickets) and $1,000 at the Benefactor level (includes four tickets).  The College wishes to express its gratitude to Outthink and Smith Insurance for sponsoring the event.
