Come celebrate the holidays at the Lyme Art Association with art historian Bob Potter on Sunday, December 14 at 3 pm, as he shares art inspired by the spirit of Christmas. His art talk will include Renaissance masterworks of the nativity and the birth of Christ, paintings by the French Impressionists and Pre-Raphaelite artists, the Victorian age of Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol” and beloved works by Norman Rockwell for The Saturday Evening Post where he painted Christmas scenes of an idealized and bygone America.

Half of the proceeds will go to the charity New London Homeless Hospitality Center.
