Every Sunday visitors are encouraged to try their hand painting plein air, in the open air, just like the Lyme Art Colony artists. Painters are given brushes, palette, paint, canvas, and a smock and are sent to paint down by the river or in Miss Florence's garden. All ages and skill levels welcome. There are also hands-on art projects, books, games and puzzles to enjoy. A great way to spend the day.

Each month Burdan presents the historical framework of these objects and uses them as springboards to the cultural, social, or political contexts that informed and inspired the artist.
 Plant Sale
Friday, September 19
10am to noon
The Museum's Garden Gang has been hard at work cleaning Miss Florence's Garden after a glorious flower-filled summer! They have had to divide many of the plants to make room for new growth next year, which means you have the opportunity to buy the flowers for your garden. Choose from daylilies, black-eyed Susans, coreopsis, Siberian and Germa iris, and others. Gallon-sized pots $6-8.
