LITCHFIELD -- The walls of the Litchfield Historical Society were lined with the work of artists -- living ones.
Thirty-three art pieces were on display at the Litchfield Historical Society, showcasing Litchfield artists for the third year in a row as part of the Litchfield Visual Arts Juried Show.
This year's theme was "All About Litchfield," and artists were told to submit work inspired by the town itself.
"All three of the shows have been really great in showcasing all the talent that is concentrated just in the town of Litchfield," said Pam Stockamore, the LVA president who planned the program.
Pictures and paintings of gardens, landscapes and farms were abundant, as were some more abstract pieces.
Artists were pleased with the opportunity to showcase their art and meet other artists.
"These are local people who are very talented and I'm very eager to see their work," said artist Richard Heys.
The LVA is aimed more at supporting Litchfield than artists themselves. Still, plenty of people in the group are artists on the side.
"They're not all working artists. Some of them are extremely talented people who do other things," said Stockamore.
The exhibit will be on display through September 22.
