Join Us!
When you become a member, you join a special group of people who understand the importance of art in our lives and in our communities.
We’re delighted to share a brief message from Lyman Allyn’s President, Eliza Sharp, about a new fall tradition at the Museum, and the inspiring momentum it has already created.
We invite you to take a moment to watch her message about how our new community challenge unfolded. Help us rise to this challenge, and join us in celebrating the season of giving thanks and giving back.
Thank you for being such an important part of the Lyman Allyn community!
