Art Round Town
August 1, 2025, 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
We’ll be open until 8 p.m. every First Friday for Art ‘Round Town!
Free admission all day long.
Visit our most recent exhibition, “Cabot Lyford: Winds of Change” and view highlights from our permanent collection in our “Past & Present” exhibition.
In addition to being open until 8 pm, our August ART will feature live music performed by Julia Lane, artist Cabot Lyford’s daughter, at 12pm and 5:30pm!
Julia Lyford Lane, daughter of sculptor Cabot Lyford, is an award-winning player of the Celtic Harp. She has performed with her husband, Fred Gosbee, as the duo Castlebay for 30 years throughout the Eastern US, British Isles, Ireland, and Scotland. In addition to his musical expertise, Gosbee is a skilled luthier, having designed and built Celtic harps, guitars, and lutes. Several years ago, Cabot Lyford gifted the couple with a carved female figurehead to be placed on the pillar of one of Gosbee’s harps. Lyford passed away in 2016 before Fred could design and build a harp big enough to accommodate the sculpture. This past spring, coinciding with what would have been Cabot’s 100th birthday, the harp was completed and, after settling into its final form, is ready to be played in honor of the sculptor.
Join Julia for a short presentation at both noon and 5:30pm about the instrument and then listen as she brings it to life playing music as people enjoy a spectrum of art from Cabot’s extraordinary career.
