 Long Days

June 12-19

By Gabe Mckinley

World Premiere production by Gabe McKinley about a group of actors putting on a production of O’Neill’s LONG DAY’S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT at a regional theatre; a tragic and sometimes darkly humorous overlapping of themes amidst the plays with a deliciously compelling plot of what happens “behind the scenes."

March 22 – September 7, 2025 | Exhibition open Wednesday through Sunday from 10am to 4pm with free parking and admission EXCEPT Friday, April 18 (Good Friday); Saturday, April 19 (Holy Saturday); Sunday, April 20 (Easter); Saturday, June 7; and Friday, July 4 (Independence Day).

Separated by 2,781 miles and on two different continents, Iraqi and Nigerian Christians share similar stories of persecution. From 2014-2018, portions of Northern Iraq were under the control of the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and many religious minorities, including Christians, experienced persecution and violence as a result. In the northern and central portions of Nigeria, violence towards Christians and other minority groups has also increased in recent years at the hands of Boko Haram and other groups. 

The Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is honored to share the stories of those displaced in Iraq and Nigeria through Among the Persecuted and Displaced — a collection of photographs taken by Stephen Rasche. The Knights of Columbus has sponsored some of Rasche’s work in both countries, bringing to light the atrocities inflicted on those persecuted for their faith.

The Lyme Art Association is honored to present Earl Grenville Killeen Solo Show: An Artist for Today, Tomorrow, and Always, on view from July 1 through July 17, 2025. This special exhibition celebrates the artistic vision and lifelong contributions of Elected Artist Earl Grenville Killeen.

A master of color, mood, and memory, Killeen’s work has long captivated collectors with its sensitivity and imagination. In a remarkable act of generosity, the artist has donated the majority of his personal collection to the Lyme Art Association. Proceeds from this exhibition will support the Association’s educational programs and special projects—ensuring that art continues to flourish in the community he loves.

Jeff Cooley, owner of The Cooley Gallery in Old Lyme and long-time friend of Earl Killeen, notes, “A fine work of art combines high craft with deep soul on the part of the artist. I have had the honor of knowing and working with Earl Killeen for twenty years and I have consistently seen him using his intellect and deeply introspective view of the world around him, along with highly practiced craft, to create fascinating images.

Visitors to the exhibition will find a broad range of Killeen’s framed and unframed works, available at specially reduced prices. This is a unique opportunity for collectors, art lovers, and the public to acquire a piece of Killeen’s artistic legacy and give his works the good homes he hopes for.

A public reception will be held on  Saturday, July 12, from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.  All are welcome to attend and celebrate the life and work of this beloved artist.

Gallery hours are  Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., or by appointment. To learn more, visit www.LymeArtAssociation.org. To explore more about Earl Grenville Killeen’s work, visit earlgrenvillekilleenart.com

The Lyme Art Association is honored to present Earl Grenville Killeen Solo Show: An Artist for Today, Tomorrow, and Always, on view from July 1 through July 17, 2025. This special exhibition celebrates the artistic vision and lifelong contributions of Elected Artist Earl Grenville Killeen.

A master of color, mood, and memory, Killeen’s work has long captivated collectors with its sensitivity and imagination. In a remarkable act of generosity, the artist has donated the majority of his personal collection to the Lyme Art Association. Proceeds from this exhibition will support the Association’s educational programs and special projects—ensuring that art continues to flourish in the community he loves.

Jeff Cooley, owner of The Cooley Gallery in Old Lyme and long-time friend of Earl Killeen, notes, “A fine work of art combines high craft with deep soul on the part of the artist. I have had the honor of knowing and working with Earl Killeen for twenty years and I have consistently seen him using his intellect and deeply introspective view of the world around him, along with highly practiced craft, to create fascinating images.

Visitors to the exhibition will find a broad range of Killeen’s framed and unframed works, available at specially reduced prices. This is a unique opportunity for collectors, art lovers, and the public to acquire a piece of Killeen’s artistic legacy and give his works the good homes he hopes for.

A public reception will be held on  Saturday, July 12, from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.  All are welcome to attend and celebrate the life and work of this beloved artist.

Gallery hours are  Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., or by appointment. To learn more, visit www.LymeArtAssociation.org. To explore more about Earl Grenville Killeen’s work, visit earlgrenvillekilleenart.com

March 22 – September 7, 2025 | Exhibition open Wednesday through Sunday from 10am to 4pm with free parking and admission EXCEPT Friday, April 18 (Good Friday); Saturday, April 19 (Holy Saturday); Sunday, April 20 (Easter); Saturday, June 7; and Friday, July 4 (Independence Day).

Separated by 2,781 miles and on two different continents, Iraqi and Nigerian Christians share similar stories of persecution. From 2014-2018, portions of Northern Iraq were under the control of the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and many religious minorities, including Christians, experienced persecution and violence as a result. In the northern and central portions of Nigeria, violence towards Christians and other minority groups has also increased in recent years at the hands of Boko Haram and other groups. 

The Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is honored to share the stories of those displaced in Iraq and Nigeria through Among the Persecuted and Displaced — a collection of photographs taken by Stephen Rasche. The Knights of Columbus has sponsored some of Rasche’s work in both countries, bringing to light the atrocities inflicted on those persecuted for their faith.

Visitors to the exhibition will find a broad range of Killeen’s framed and unframed works, available at specially reduced prices. This is a unique opportunity for collectors, art lovers, and the public to acquire a piece of Killeen’s artistic legacy and give his works the good homes he hopes for.

I have had the honor of knowing and working with Earl Killeen for twenty years and I have consistently seen him using his intellect and deeply introspective view of the world around him, along with highly practiced craft, to create fascinating images.

Visitors to the exhibition will find a broad range of Killeen’s framed and unframed works, available at specially reduced prices. This is a unique opportunity for collectors, art lovers, and the public to acquire a piece of Killeen’s artistic legacy and give his works the good homes he hopes for.

A public reception will be held on  Saturday, July 12, from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.  All are welcome to attend and celebrate the life and work of this beloved artist.

Gallery hours are  Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., or by appointment. To learn more, visit www.LymeArtAssociation.org. To explore more about Earl Grenville Killeen’s work, visit earlgrenvillekilleenart.com

March 22 – September 7, 2025 | Exhibition open Wednesday through Sunday from 10am to 4pm with free parking and admission EXCEPT Friday, April 18 (Good Friday); Saturday, April 19 (Holy Saturday); Sunday, April 20 (Easter); Saturday, June 7; and Friday, July 4 (Independence Day).

Separated by 2,781 miles and on two different continents, Iraqi and Nigerian Christians share similar stories of persecution. From 2014-2018, portions of Northern Iraq were under the control of the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and many religious minorities, including Christians, experienced persecution and violence as a result. In the northern and central portions of Nigeria, violence towards Christians and other minority groups has also increased in recent years at the hands of Boko Haram and other groups. 

The Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is honored to share the stories of those displaced in Iraq and Nigeria through Among the Persecuted and Displaced — a collection of photographs taken by Stephen Rasche. The Knights of Columbus has sponsored some of Rasche’s work in both countries, bringing to light the atrocities inflicted on those persecuted for their faith.
